Solve word problems involving multiplication of a fraction by a whole number by using visual fraction models and equations to represent the problem. For example, if each person at a party will eat 3/8 of a pound of roast beef, and there will be 5 people at the party, how many pounds of roast beef will be needed? Between what two whole numbers does your answer lie? To solve: 5 X 3 = 15; then divide by 8; answer is 15/8; answer is nearly 2 pounds of roast beef is needed; the answer lies between 1 and 2 pounds.
