Next.
Jesse takes 2 pints of water
for a hike up a mountain trail and back.
He plans to drink 1/4 of the water on the way up.
How many pints does Jesse plan to drink on the way up?
Let's look at our definitions.
Pint.
A unit of measuring liquid one pint equals
1/8 gallon, or 16 ounces.
Trail is a path through the mountain.
Close.

Next.
Jesse takes 2 pints of water
for a hike up a mountain trail and back.
He plans to drink 1/4 of the water on the way up.
How many pints does Jesse plan to drink on the way up?
Knowing that he starts with
2 pints of water is important.
Knowing that he wants to drink 1/4 of the water on the way up
is also important.
Our question is how many pints
and we're looking to find the amount of water
that Jesse plans to drink on the way up.
Let's check.
Did I find all the important information
in the problem and highlight them by clicking?
Yes. Yes,
you know the important information.
Now let's move to the next step.
Represent.
Close.
I will represent the problem.
Next.
Touch or drag relevant numbers from the word problem.
Our multiplier
is the number of equal groups.
Our multiplicand is the number of units in one group.
This will help us determine a product
which is the number of units in the number of equal groups.
Our unit in this problem is pints
because we're looking for how many pints Jesse plans
to drink on the way up.
2 pints is the multiplicand
because it is the number of units in one group.
Our multiplicand 2 can also be expressed
as the fraction, 2 over 1.
Now you should see two
equal parts are colored yellow.
1/4 of the water is our multiplier because we are looking for 1/4
of the 2 pints of water that Jesse is bringing.
Now you should see
2 pints of water are horizontally partitioned into four rows,
each containing 1/4 of the two pints of water.
Because Jesse is planning to drink
only one part, each one fourth of the water,
we shade the first bottom row as purple, representing the product.
The purple
section represents one fourth of the two pints of water
Jesse plans to drink on the way up.
There are now four partitioned rectangles,
each the size of one fourth.
Two of the one fourth are shaded purple.
Let's check.
Did I touch or drag relevant numbers?
Yes. Yes,
you represented the problem correctly.
Now let's move to the next step.
Answer.
I will write the equation and answer it.
Next.
Our multiplicand was 2 pints of water.
The whole number 2 can also be expressed as the fraction,
2 over 1.
For our multiplier, we used 1/4 of the water.
Now let's use our multiplication chart
to find our product.
We're looking for 1 times 2 in the numerator
which we see in this Orange Square is 2.
Now for 4 times 1 in the denominator,
1 times 4.
We see the Orange Square here 4
which gives us a product of 2 over 4.
We can also simplified 2/4
by dividing both the numerator in the denominator by the same number.
In this case, we can divide both the numerator
and denominator by 2 to get 1/4.
Here we get one half
after dividing both the numerator and the denominator by 2.
Let's check.
Have I correctly written the equation and answered it.
Yes. Yes, you are right.
You wrote the equation correctly and answered it.
Good job.
