Question

Gus calculates there were 15.26 grams of fat in the turkey bacon on his sandwich. Each serving of turkey bacon has 4.36 grams of fat. Write how you would find how many servings of bacon Gus ate, and how you would check your answer.

Answer 1

I would divide 15.26 by 4.36 then check it by multiplying 4.36 by the original answer

Answer 2

Sample Response: Divide 15.26 by 4.36. Move the decimal two places to the right to make 4.36 a whole number. Also move it two places to the right in the dividend. Then use the steps of long division to get 3.5 servings. Use estimation to check the answer by dividing 16 by 4 to get 4.
