Popcorn Problems

Solve these problems. Use a representation, and write an equation for each one.

  • 1 How much popcorn would each person get if 2 people shared 1 half of a bag of popcorn equally?

  • 2 Mitch has 2 cups of unpopped popcorn. He uses 1 fourth cup to make 1 bowl of popcorn. How many bowls of popcorn can he make?

  • 3 How much popcorn would each person get if 3 people shared 1 fourth of a bag of popcorn equally?

  • 4 Samantha has 3 cups of unpopped popcorn. She uses 1 eighth cup to make 1 serving. How many servings of popcorn can she make?

NOTE

Students use representations to solve problems that involve dividing whole numbers and unit fractions. (A unit fraction is a fraction in which the numerator is 1.)
