12. Try these. Remember, the first part of your answer will be in the tens column, so you will be estimating by multiplying by a 10 (there could be remainders).
a) 518 ÷ 14 d) 812 ÷ 28
g) hrs mins 2 1

13. See if you can write these times in the 24-hour system. (Remember to use 4 digits.) a) 4:34pm e) 7:28pm
b) 8:51am f) 12:37pm
b) 10:17 f) 03:56
c) 10:19pm g) 1:38am
c) 23:12 g) 21:42
d) 11:47am h) 8:06pm
14. Now try it the opposite way. Remember to identify the times as am or pm. a) 17:05 e) 17:39
d) 12:15 h) 00:45
15. Find equivalent fractions for the following fractions by multiplying by a member of the family of 1.
a) 1
– 4
b) 1
– 8
c) 2
– 3
d) 3
– 5
e) 7 __
10 f) 5
– 6
g) 3
– 7
h) 5
– 9
16. Now find equivalent fractions for the following fractions by dividing by a member of the family of 1.
a) 21 __
24
b) 18 __
27
c) 14 __
18
d) 24 __
30
e) 49 __
63 f) 32
__ 56
g) 35 __

17. Now try these. Remember to change the fractions so that they have the same denominator. Estimate the answers first.
a) 1
– 2 + 1
– 3
b) 1
– 4 + 3
– 8
c) 2
– 3 + 1
– 5
d) 1
– 8 + 5
– 6
e) 3
– 4 + 2
– 3
f)
__ 12 + 3
5
– 8
18. See if you can work these out. Remember to find the lowest common multiple (LCM) of the denominators so that you can make equivalent fractions with the same denominator.
