Here is the word problem my partner and I solved:
Yoshi has a rope 30 feet long. He must cut it into pieces that are each ¼ foot long. Will he get more or fewer than 30 pieces? How do you know? How many pieces will Yoshi get?
Here is a picture of my visual that represents the problem:
Here is my equation(s) with a variable to represent the unknown amount:
1/4 x 4 = 4 x 30 = 120 pieces.
When predicting my answer, I know my answer will be smaller or larger because…
It will be larger because when you are cutting something it is making more pieces which means more.
Here is a picture of the work I did to solve the problem:
My answer and label are…
120 pieces.
