Reorder

If you are making a fruit bread and accidentally put cups of flour in the empty bowl when only cups of flour were needed.

How many cups of flour do you need to take out? Drag the steps to sort in order from first to last, changing the mixed numbers to improper fractions to subtract.
1st step -----------------> Last step

$3\frac{5}{7}-2\frac{1}{3}$

$\frac{26}{7}-\frac{7}{3}$

$\frac{26}{7}\left(\frac{3}{3}\right)-\frac{7}{3}\left(\frac{7}{7}\right)$

$\frac{78}{21}-\frac{49}{21}$

$\frac{29}{21}=1\frac{8}{21}$

Match

Match each expression to its correct product or quotient.

$0.3\cdot\left(2.7\right)$

$0.24\div8$

$1.6\div0.1$

$1.8\cdot\left(0.01\right)$
