They traded something they produced for the things their neighbors produced This method of exchange is called bartering Paulo lives with his family in a small village His family needs corn He is going to the market with two sheep and one goat to barter, or exchange, them for bags of corn First he meets Aaron, who says, “I only trade salt for chickens I will give you one bag of salt for every two chickens.” “But I don’t have any chickens,” thinks Paulo, “so I can’t trade with Aaron.” Later he meets Sarkis, who tells him, “I will give you two bags of corn for three bags of salt.” Paulo thinks, “That doesn’t help me either.” Then he meets Ranee She will trade six chickens for a goat, and she says, “My sister, Nina, is willing to give you six bags of salt for every sheep you have.” Paulo is getting confused His family wants him to go home with bags of corn, not with goats or sheep or chickens or salt Show what Paulo can Section A: Compare and Exchange CuuDuongThanCong.com https://fb.com/tailieudientucntt A Compare and Exchange Farmer’s Market How many bananas you need to balance the third scale?

Sample explanations: • In problem 2, I found that one fish trades for one apple, so 10 fish trade for 10 apples • Since you can trade five fish for two melons, you can trade 10 fish for four melons You can trade four melons for 10 apples from the original information, so you can trade 10 fish for 10 apples Answers to Check Your Work 39 CuuDuongThanCong.com https://fb.com/tailieudientucntt Answers to Check Your Work No, this statement is not true Remember: you have to give an explanation! Sample explanations: • I found in problem that four fish can be traded for one loaf of bread, so three fish are not enough to get one loaf of bread • I found in problem that one fish can be traded for one apple, so three fish will be worth only three apples Because four apples are the same as one loaf of bread, three fish are not enough You can have several different solutions and still be correct Check your solution with another student You may make an assumption about the number of fish Delia has Sample responses: • If she has five fish, she can trade for two melons Then she can get two ears of corn and four apples, because one melon is worth one ear of corn and two apples I know from problem that one apple is worth two ears of corn So if she wants more corn, she can trade four apples for eight ears of corn Delia will then have traded 10 ears of corn in total for five fish This means that one fish is worth two ears of corn So for each fish Delia has, she can get two ears of corn 40 Comparing Quantities CuuDuongThanCong.com https://fb.com/tailieudientucntt Answers to Check Your Work Section B Looking at Combinations You might have filled out the chart in a different way Number of Whirlybird Rides Numbers of Tickets 6 16 14 19 24 12 17 22 10 15 20 10 Number of Loop-D-Loop Rides 16 tickets Different strategies are possible: • In the chart, you can see that for two Loop-D-Loop rides you need 10 tickets, and for three Whirlybird rides you need six tickets So altogether you need 16 tickets • You can draw arrows that go up one square and to the right one square, like on the chart above This move adds seven tickets, and ؉ ؍16 Janus can go on three Loop-D-Loop rides and two Whirlybird rides or one Loop-D-Loop ride and seven Whirlybird rides If you keep filling out the chart, each entry is either greater or less than 19 except for those two combinations So all of the other combinations are for either too many or too few tickets Answers to Check Your Work 41 CuuDuongThanCong.com https://fb.com/tailieudientucntt Answers to Check Your Work a Different charts are possible You should draw an arrow that goes down one square and to the right two squares, like on the chart below b The number of tickets increases by eight Numbers of Tickets 16 Number of Whirlybird Rides 14 19 12 17 10 15 20 25 13 18 23 11 16 21 26 14 19 24 29 34 39 12 17 22 27 32 37 42 47 0 10 15 20 25 30 35 40 45 50 10 Number of Loop-D-Loop Rides Discuss and check your answers to problem with a classmate One example of a story: a A motorcycle holds two people, and a minibus holds 10 people b Number of Minibuses Number of People 50 52 54 40 42 44 46 48 50 30 32 34 36 38 40 20 22 24 26 28 30 10 12 14 16 18 20 56 58 60 10 Number of Motorcycles c The circled entry 16 stands for the number of people traveling on three motorcycles and one minibus The circled entry 40 stands for the number of people traveling in four minibuses 42 Comparing Quantities CuuDuongThanCong.com https://fb.com/tailieudientucntt Answers to Check Your Work Section C Finding Prices a You can have different explanations that are correct Two examples are: • In both pictures there are five candles, but the price is higher in the second picture Since there are more short candles in the picture on the right, they must be more expensive • When one tall candle is replaced by one short candle, the price increases $0.15 The short candles are more expensive than the tall candles b The short candles are $0.15 more expensive than the tall candles c Compare your answer with your classmates There are several possible combinations You can add all the candles and prices to get one combination: $8.55 Some other examples you get when you exchange candles are below and on the next page $3.75 $3.90 Answers to Check Your Work 43 CuuDuongThanCong.com https://fb.com/tailieudientucntt Answers to Check Your Work $4.05 –15¢ $4.20 ؉15¢ $4.35 ؉15¢ $4.50 d One short candle costs $0.90 Different strategies are possible Discuss your strategy with a classmate An example of one strategy follows: Exchange each tall candle for a short candle (See pictures in answer c.) When you have five short candles, the total price is $4.50 $4.50 ، ؍$0.90 44 Comparing Quantities CuuDuongThanCong.com https://fb.com/tailieudientucntt Answers to Check Your Work Costs of Combinations (in dollars) 7.20 8.70 10.20 11.70 10 ؊1.50 ؊5 1.80 3.30 1.50 10 6.60 ؊5 Number of Drinks One strategy is to subtract the price of one bagel and two drinks to find a difference of $5.10 on the diagonal and repeat this to get $1.50 for one bagel Another strategy is that if the entry for the (2,2) cell is $6.60, then the entry for the (1,1) cell is $3.30 So going up the diagonal by moving over one and up one (an increase of one drink and one bagel), the next diagonal cell would be $9.90 and the next to the right of $11.70 would be $13.20 This makes the cost of one bagel $1.50, which can be used to go back to the cost of drinks and no bagels Once you know that four drinks cost $7.20, you can divide to find the cost of one drink You may have filled out other parts of the chart You not need to fill out the whole chart to find the answer Number of Bagels The cost of a drink is $1.80 a Check your strategy with a classmate The cost of a drink is $1.50 Sample strategy: Double the first picture: Four drinks and four bagels cost $11.60 Compare this with the second picture: Four drinks and three bagels cost $10.20 The difference on the left is one bagel The difference on the right is $1.40 So one bagel costs $1.40 To find the price of a drink, take the first picture: drinks ؉ ؋ $1.40 ؍$5.80 So two drinks must cost $3.00 So one drink costs $1.50 b The cost of a single

one apple is found by subtracting row from row Answers: One apple costs $0.50 One banana costs $0.60 One pear costs $0.70 a One salad costs $2 You may have doubled the first order and then subtracted this from the second order to find the price of a salad, as shown b One drink costs $0.75 One taco costs $1.50 Compare your work with a classmate’s work Sample strategy: Order Taco Salad Drink Total 1 $ 3.00 2 $ 8.00 4 $ 11.00 $ 6.00 $ 2.00 ؋2 From answer a, you know that a salad costs $2.00 In order 3, there were four salads: ؋ $2 ؍$8.00 The price of the order was $11.00, so four drinks cost $11.00 ؊ $8.00 ؍$3.00 $3.00 ، ؍$0.75 is the price of one drink In order 1: taco ؉ drinks ؍$3.00 taco ؉ x $0.75 ؍$3.00 taco ؉ $1.50 ؍$3.00 So one taco costs $1.50 No, a combination chart cannot be used
