Review from Yesterday Add or subtract. 1. 2. 3. 4. 58 6 5 9 11 __ 11 20 __ 2 9

Jimmy and his mother planted a tree when it was 1 ft tall. Now the tree is 2 ft tall. How much has the tree grown since it was planted? 3 4 __ 1 4 1 4 3 4 The difference in the heights can be represented by 2 – 1. 1 4 __ 1 4 3 4 You will need to regroup 2 because the fraction in 1 is greater than. 1 4 __ Divide one whole of 2 into fourths.

Check It Out: Example 1A Subtract. Write each answer in simplest form. 1 6 __ 5 6 7 1 6 6 7 6 Rename 7 as 6 + 1 = 6 + +. –2 5 6 __ –2 5 6 __ ______ 4 2 6 __ Subtract the fractions and then the whole numbers. 1 6 __ 1 6 6 6 1 6 Write the answer in simplest form. = 4 1 3 __ 7 – 2

2 5 __ 7 10 __ 8 4 10 __ 7 14 10 __ Rename 8 as 7 + 1 = 7 + +. –6 7 10 __ –6 7 10 __ ______ ______ 1 7 10 __ Subtract the fractions and then the whole numbers. 4 10 __ 4 10 __ 10 __ 4 10 __ 10 is a multiple of 5, so 10 is a common denominator. 8 – 6 8 – 7 = 1 Estimate the difference. 1 is close to the estimate of 1. The answer is reasonable. 7 10 __ Check It Out: Example 1B Subtract. Write each answer in simplest form.

Additional Example 2A: Measurement Application Li is making a quilt. She needs 15 yards of fabric. Li has 2 yards of fabric. How many more yards does she need? 3 4 __ 1514 4 4 __ Write 15 as a mixed number with a denominator of 4. Rename 15 as 14 +. –2 3 4 __ –2 3 4 __ ______ ______ 12 Subtract the fractions and then the whole numbers. 4 4 __ 1 4 Li needs another 12 yards of fabric. 1 4 __

Check It Out: Example 2A Peggy is making curtains. She needs 13 yards of fabric. Peggy has 4 yards of fabric. How many more yards does she need? 5 6 __ 1312 6 6 __ Write 13 as a mixed number with a denominator of 6. Rename 13 as 12 +. –4 5 6 __ –4 5 6 __ ______ ______ 8 Subtract the fractions and then the whole numbers. 6 6 __ 1 6 Peggy needs another 8 yards of fabric. 1 6 __
