OBSERVE:-THE NUMBERS ARE INCREASING IN 2 LB INCREMENTS-THE LONGER LINE BETWEEN THE NUMBERS REPRESENT AN ODD NUMBER-THE SMALL LINES REPRESENT ¼ LB INCREMENTS

THIS INDICATOR REPRESENTS 50LB INCREMENTS

COMBINING WHOLE NUMBERS WITH FRACTIONS

4 SQUARES

2 ½ SQUARES

THE TOTAL NUMBER OF SQUARES IS : 6 ½ SQUARES

AS IN THE PREVIOUS EXAMPLE WE CAN APPLY THIS CONCEPT WHEN MEASURING WEIGHTS.

Example:A)50 LB + 10 ¼ LB = 60 ¼ LB

B) 100 LB + 12 ¾ LB = 112 ¾ LB

C) 50 LB + 40 ½ LB = D) 150 LB + 32 ¾ LB =

90 ½ LB

182 ¾ LB

HEIGHT ROD

NOTES•WHEN USING THE TAPE MEASURE WITH INCREMENTS OF 1/8, THE MEASUREMENTS WILL BE GIVEN IN ¼

•WHEN USING THE HEIGHT ROD, THE INCREMENTS ARE GOING BY 1/4

LET’S LEARN HOW THE RULE IS DIVIDED IN FRACTIONS

1/2

1/4 3/4

WHAT IS THE MEASURE? 2 ½ in 2 ¼ in2 ¾ in

IDENTIFY THE MEASURE FOR EACH OF THE ARROWS!!

INCHES TO FEET

• REMEMBER !! : 1 FEET = 12 INCHES• TO TURN INCHES INTO FEET:– DIVIDE IT BY 12– THE WHOLE NUMBER IS THE NUMBER OF FEET. – HOW MANY INCHES IN THIS WHOLE NUMBER?– SUBSTRACT THIS NUMBER OF INCHES FROM THE

ORIGINAL MEASUREMENT

76 IN TO FEET

• DIVIDE: 76/12 = 6 FEET AND A PART IN INCHES

• IN 6 FEET = 72 IN• 76 – 72 = 4 IN• HEIGHT IN FEET: 6 FEET 4 IN
