Critical Thinking
Daniela and Colin fill small, medium, and large
baskets of peaches at the farmers’ market. The
small baskets hold half as many peaches as the
medium baskets, and the medium baskets hold
half as many peaches as the large baskets.
What fractional part of a large basket does a
small basket hold? What is that fractional part
expressed as a decimal?In This Chapter You Will:
- Compare and order decimals
- Estimate solutions of decimal operations
using rounding, front-end estimation, and
compatible numbers - Solve equations by adding, subtracting,
multiplying, and dividing decimals - Express decimal numbers in scientific
notation- Multiply and divide numbers with
positive and negative exponents - Rename metric units of measure
- Review problem-solving strategies
- Look for new vocabulary words
highlighted in each lesson
- Multiply and divide numbers with
- An inequality is a mathematical
sentence that uses a comparison
symbol to indicate that two
quantities are notequal. - Open sentences have variables.
- A replacement set is a set of
numbers to be used as possible
values for the variable in an
equation or an inequality. - A solution set contains the
values for the variable that make
an equation or an
inequality true.
