Answer Key/Rubric
cups of ingredients to make the milkshake.
- The blue board is
feet longer than the red board.
- The steps you would use to solve
are listed below, but are not limited to,
- Subtract the fractions
- Subtract the whole numbers 10 – 4 =6
- Combine the whole number and fraction to get the answer
- Lucy is not correct.
Explanations may include, but not limited to:
- You need to subtract the amount of material that she had left from the original amount of fleece. That will tell you what she used.
(yards she started with)
(yards she had left over)=
(yards that she used on the blanket)
- Lucy said she used
yards, but she actually used
yards.
- Lucy used more fleece than what she actually said.
