develop a 'word' problem involving fractions where the 'student' must determine which operation (multiplication or division) needs to be applied.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let there are 48 fruits in a basket. The one third parts are mangoes, one half are apples and one fourth are bananas.

Find the number of mangoes, apples and bananas.  

to plot points   for x just start at the origin (middle) and go to the left however many times it say(if the number is a positive) if the number is a negative then go right however many times it says if it is 0 go nowhere

now keep you pencil there and go up however many times it says on y(if it is positive) if it is negative then go down however many times it says. if it says 0 go nowhere.

you have just plotted a point! now when you finish plotting all of them connect them with a ruler

plot each point as (-3, 7), (0,4), (3,1), (8,-4)   in the parenthesis on the left of the comma is x and the right is y.
