Grade 6 • Independent Practice • Work on your own. Show your calculations or reasoning where needed.

Sample questions

1. Could x = 8/3 satisfy 1/4 × x = 5/12? Check by substitution, then find the correct x.
2. Solve (2/3) × x = 5/6. Write the related division equation, then check your answer by multiplication.
3. A rectangle has area 3/4 square meter and one side 3/4 meter. Draw and label a model, then find the missing side.
4. The quotient of 1/3 and 1/4 is 4/3. Create a multiplication equation that verifies this claim and explain the role of each number.
