1. Math Unit 8-
Open Ended
Skill Practice

2. Take 1/2 of 1 and 1/7
First, make 1 = 7/7
Next, add 7/7 to 1/7
third, your sum should be 8/7
fourth, 1/2 of 8/7 is 4/7 (look at the
numerators, 1/2 of 8 = 4)
Thus, 1/2 of 1 and 1/7 = 4/7

3. Now you try
Find 1/2 of 1 and 1/9
Don't turn the slide, solve the problem and
then check your work

4. Did you get
5/9
1 and 1/9=
1= 9/9
9/9 + 1/9 = 10/9
1/2 of 10/9 = 5/9
Remember: 1/2 of 10 = 5
