TEKS 3.3F Worksheets — Grade 3 Represent equivalent fractions with denominators of 2

Leila is organizing a bake sale to raise money for her school in Texas. She bakes a total of 8 dozen cookies to sell. If she packages the cookies in boxes of 2 dozen each, how many boxes can she fill?

1. 2
2. 4 ✓
3. 6
4. 8

Why: To find out how many boxes Leila can fill, divide the total number of cookies (8 dozen) by the number of cookies per box (2 dozen). So, 8 ÷ 2 = 4. Therefore, Leila can fill 4 boxes.

Esteban is at the Gulf Coast in Galveston. He is sharing a pizza that is cut into 4 equal slices with his friends. If Esteban eats 1 slice, which of the following fractions represents the part of the pizza that Esteban has eaten?

1. 1/4 ✓
2. 1/2
3. 2/4
4. 3/4

Why: Esteban ate 1 out of the 4 equal slices of the pizza, which can be represented as the fraction 1/4. To find this, you can think of it as dividing the pizza into 4 parts and counting how many parts Esteban ate.

Layla is making homemade tortillas for her family during a picnic at the park in Texas. She has a round pan that can fit 8 tortillas at a time. If she makes 4 full batches of tortillas, how many tortillas does she make altogether?

1. 32 ✓
2. 28
3. 24
4. 36

Why: To find out how many tortillas Layla makes, multiply the number of tortillas per batch (8) by the number of batches (4). So, 8 × 4 = 32. Therefore, Layla makes 32 tortillas in all.

Riya went to Big Bend National Park with her family. They brought snacks to enjoy while they explored. Riya had 1/2 of a chocolate bar, and her brother had 2/4 of a chocolate bar. How much chocolate bar did they have together?

1. 3/4
2. 1/2
3. 1/4
4. 1 ✓

Why: To find the total amount of chocolate bars that Riya and her brother had together, you add 1/2 and 2/4. First, we can see that 2/4 is equivalent to 1/2. So, 1/2 + 1/2 equals 2/2, which is 1 whole. Therefore, the answer is 1.

Paola is making a flag to represent Texas at her school. She needs to color half of her flag blue and a quarter of it red. If her flag is divided into 4 equal sections, how many sections will be colored blue?

1. 2 ✓
2. 1
3. 3
4. 4

Why: To find out how many sections will be colored blue, we need to determine what half of the flag is when the flag is divided into 4 equal sections. Half of 4 is 2. Therefore, Paola will color 2 sections blue.

Aaliyah is making tacos for her family in Waco, Texas. She has 4 tortillas and decides to cut each tortilla into 2 equal pieces. How many pieces of tortilla does Aaliyah have in total?

1. 8 ✓
2. 2
3. 4
4. 6

Why: Aaliyah starts with 4 tortillas and cuts each into 2 pieces. To find the total number of pieces, you multiply 4 (tortillas) by 2 (pieces each) which equals 8 pieces. Therefore, the correct answer is 8.

Ximena is making a poster for a school project about the Texas Hill Country. She uses a model that shows 1/2 of the poster filled with pictures of Fredericksburg, and 1/4 of the poster filled with pictures of New Braunfels. What fraction of the poster is filled with pictures of both towns?

1. 3/4 ✓
2. 1/4
3. 1/2
4. 1/8

Why: To find the total fraction of the poster filled with pictures, you add the fractions 1/2 and 1/4. To do this, you can convert 1/2 to 2/4 so both fractions have the same denominator. Then, 2/4 + 1/4 equals 3/4. Therefore, the correct answer is 3/4.

Gabriela is making tamales for a family gathering in Austin. She has a total of 8 tamales. If she eats 2 tamales herself, what fraction of the tamales does she have left?

1. 3/4 ✓
2. 1/2
3. 1/4
4. 5/8

Why: Gabriela starts with 8 tamales and eats 2, so she has 8 - 2 = 6 tamales left. To find the fraction of tamales left from the original total, we write 6 out of 8 as 6/8. This fraction can be simplified to 3/4 by dividing both the numerator and the denominator by 2. Therefore, the correct answer is 3/4.
