Question

*Use repeated addition or multiplication to solve the problems.

⅔ x 6
Answer:

4 x 3/8
Answer:

4/5 x 5
Answer:

8 x 1/4
Answer:

Answer 1

To solve these problems using repeated addition or multiplication, let's break down each one:

1. **\(\frac{2}{3} \times 6\)**:
- This is equivalent to adding \(\frac{2}{3}\), six times:
\[
\frac{2}{3} + \frac{2}{3} + \frac{2}{3} + \frac{2}{3} + \frac{2}{3} + \frac{2}{3} = \frac{12}{3} = 4
\]
**Answer:** 4

2. **\(4 \times \frac{3}{8}\)**:
- This means adding \(\frac{3}{8}\), four times:
\[
\frac{3}{8} + \frac{3}{8} + \frac{3}{8} + \frac{3}{8} = \frac{12}{8} = \frac{3}{2} = 1.5
\]
**Answer:** \(\frac{3}{2}\) or 1.5

3. **\(\frac{4}{5} \times 5\)**:
- This is the same as multiplying \(\frac{4}{5}\) by 5, which equals:
\[
4
\]
**Answer:** 4

4. **\(8 \times \frac{1}{4}\)**:
- This means adding \(\frac{1}{4}\), eight times:
\[
\frac{1}{4} + \frac{1}{4} + \frac{1}{4} + \frac{1}{4} + \frac{1}{4} + \frac{1}{4} + \frac{1}{4} + \frac{1}{4} = \frac{8}{4} = 2
\]
**Answer:** 2
