Imani has 3/4 of a pizza left after her birthday party. If she wants to share the remaining pizza equally among 3 friends, how much pizza will each friend get?

1. 1/4 ✓
2. 1/3
3. 1/2
4. 3/4

Why: To find out how much pizza each friend will get, we divide the remaining pizza, which is 3/4, by 3. This can be calculated as (3/4) ÷ 3, or (3/4) × (1/3). Multiplying the numerators gives us 3 * 1 = 3, and multiplying the denominators gives us 4 * 3 = 12. So, we have 3/12, which simplifies to 1/4. Therefore, each friend will get 1/4 of the pizza.

Mia went to a local farmers market in the DFW Metroplex and bought some delicious fruit. She purchased 2/5 of a watermelon and 1/5 of a cantaloupe. How much fruit did Mia buy in total?

1. 3/5 ✓
2. 1/5
3. 2/5
4. 4/5

Why: To find the total amount of fruit Mia bought, you need to add the fractions: 2/5 (watermelon) + 1/5 (cantaloupe) = (2 + 1)/5 = 3/5. Thus, Mia bought a total of 3/5 of the fruit.

Layla is making tacos for her family in Galveston Bay. She has 3/4 of a cup of cheese and 1/4 of a cup of salsa. How much cheese and salsa does Layla have in total?

1. 1 cup ✓
2. 3/2 cup
3. 1/2 cup
4. 1/4 cup

Why: To find the total amount of cheese and salsa, we add the two fractions: 3/4 + 1/4. Since the denominators are the same, we can simply add the numerators: 3 + 1 = 4. This gives us 4/4, which is equal to 1 cup. Therefore, the correct answer is 1 cup.

Scarlett is making a fruit salad using peaches and strawberries. She has 3/4 of a pound of peaches and 1/4 of a pound of strawberries. How many pounds of fruit does Scarlett have in total for her salad?

1. 1 ✓
2. 1/2
3. 1/4
4. 2

Why: To find the total weight of the fruit, we add the two fractions: 3/4 + 1/4. Since they have the same denominator, we simply add the numerators: 3 + 1 = 4. Therefore, 4/4 equals 1 pound. Scarlett has 1 pound of fruit in total for her salad.

Sofia has a chocolate bar that is divided into 8 equal pieces. She gives 3 pieces to her friend. What fraction of the chocolate bar does Sofia have left?

1. 5/8 ✓
2. 3/8
3. 1/4
4. 1/2

Why: Sofia started with a whole chocolate bar, which is represented as 8/8. She gave away 3 pieces, which leaves her with 5 pieces. To find the fraction of the chocolate bar she has left, we can subtract 3/8 from 8/8. That means 8/8 - 3/8 = 5/8. Therefore, Sofia has 5/8 of the chocolate bar left.

Zoe is making a fruit salad with different types of fruit. She has 3/4 of a cup of blueberries and 1/4 of a cup of strawberries. How much fruit does Zoe have in total?

1. 1 cup ✓
2. 1/2 cup
3. 3/4 cup
4. 2/4 cup

Why: To find the total amount of fruit, add the fractions 3/4 and 1/4. Since the denominators are the same (4), you can simply add the numerators: 3 + 1 = 4. This gives you 4/4, which is equal to 1 whole cup. Therefore, the correct answer is 1 cup.

Valentina is making tacos for her family using fresh vegetables from the San Antonio Farmers Market. She uses 3/4 of a cup of diced tomatoes and 1/4 of a cup of diced onions. How much of a cup of vegetables does she use in total?

1. 1 cup ✓
2. 1/2 cup
3. 3/4 cup
4. 2/4 cup

Why: To find the total amount of vegetables Valentina uses, add the two fractions: 3/4 + 1/4. Since they have the same denominator, you can simply add the numerators: 3 + 1 = 4. The total is 4/4, which equals 1 cup. Therefore, the correct answer is 1 cup.

Santiago is helping his family make tamales for a community festival in San Antonio. They have made 3/4 of a batch of tamales. If they make another 1/4 batch, how much of a batch will they have made in total?

1. 1 batch ✓
2. 1/2 batch
3. 3/4 batch
4. 2/4 batch

Why: To find the total amount of tamales made, add the two fractions: 3/4 + 1/4. Since the denominators are the same, you can simply add the numerators: 3 + 1 = 4. This gives you 4/4, which equals 1 batch. Therefore, the correct answer is 1 batch.
