Planting Vegetables

Solve the problems. For each problem, use the square to draw an array. Then write an equation.

• 1 Samantha owns 1 2 1 half of a section of land. She plants squash on 1 2 1 half of her land. What fraction of the entire section is planted with Samantha's squash?

  

• 2 Cecilia owns 1 3 1 third of a section of land. She plants tomatoes on 1 2 1 half of her land. What fraction of the entire section is planted with Cecilia's tomatoes?

  

• 3 Renaldo owns 3 4 3 fourths of a section of land. He plants corn on 1 2 1 half of his land. What fraction of the entire section is planted with Renaldo's corn?

  

NOTE

Students use arrays to solve problems that involve multiplying a fraction by a fraction.
