MODULE IN MATHEMATICS 5
First Quarter
Week 6-Day 1-4
What I Need to Know
CONTENT STANDARDS: The learners demonstrate understanding of divisibility, order of
operations, factors and multiples, and the four fundamental operations involving fraction
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS: The learners shall be able to apply divisibility, order of
operations, factors and multiples, and the four fundamental operations involving fractions in
mathematical problems and real-life situations.
After going through this module, you are expected to solve proper fraction mentally.
What I Know

A. Direction: Read the following situations and answer it mentally.

1. On Sunday evening, Sassy ate a blueberry cheesecake for her dinner and had 1/2 of the
cake left over. On Monday he ate 1/10 of what was left. How much of the cake did Sassy
eat on Sunday?
2. Gabriel made DIY mango jam and coconut jam. He made enough mangos jam to fill 2/5 of
a jar. If he made 2/4 as much coconut jam as mango jam, how many jars will the coconut
jam fill?
3. 1/6 of the boys joined the volleyball team for district meet in Dona Manuela Elementary

5. While watching Matang Lawin Coverage, Zyra and Paul discovered that Elephants are fed
3/6 of a barrel of corn each day. The buffalo are fed 1/7 as much as the elephants. How
many barrels of corn are the buffalo fed each day?
What’s In
Direction : Find the product. Express the answer in lowest term.
1. 5 x 7/8 = N 4. What is ¼ of 80?
2. 3/7 x 21 = N 5. How many is 27 of ¼?
3. 1/5 x 23 = N
What’s New
In a wonderful morning, Princess decided to eat her
favorite food a “Pancake” for her breakfast. Mother
had 3/4 kg of pancake mixture. She asked Princess
to cook only 2/3 of it. How much pancake mixture
did Princess use?
1. What is asked in the problem?
2. What are given?
3. What operation to be used?
4. What is the number sentence?
5. What is the final answer?
What is It
How will you solve mentally for the product of proper fractions? Here’s how to do it.
3 numerator
4 denominator
2 numerator
3 denominator
You can get the product using two ways.
Solution 2
Solution 1
 Step 1: Multiply the numerators. We apply cross cancellation by using the
3 and 2 are the numerators GFC
3x2=6
3 2
4 x 3 =
Step 2: Multiply the denominators. 1 1
4 and 3 are the denominators 3 2
4 x 3 = 12 4 x 3 =
2 1
Step 3: Express the answer in lowest terms
if needed. 1 1 3 1
Product of numerators 6 2 x 1 = 2
Product of denominators = 12
Lowest term
6 6 1
12 ÷ 6 = 2
Now, it’s your turn. Follow the steps in solving mentally. Use the solution that will help you solve easily.
Direction: Give the product of the following fractions mentally.
1. 2/5 × 1/2 = _______ 3. 3/7 × 1/2 = _______
2. 1/4 × 1/9 = _______ 4. 1/8 × 3/5 = _______
What’s More

Direction: Let’s do the challenge! Multiply mentally each fraction of the wheel to ¼ to reveal
the color combination. Write the name of the color to the corresponding box.

3/40 = brown
1/24= green
7/32=orange
5/36= pink
1/8= violet

What I Have Learned

How did you multiply proper fraction with denominators

up to 10?
To solve the product of proper fraction with denominators up to 10,
you need to remember these steps:
First: Multiply numerators.
Second: Multiply denominators.
Lastly: Express the answer in lowest terms if needed.
What I Can Do
Solve the problem mentally.
On Saturday a team of street
sweepers cleaned 4/5 of a city block.
Sunday, the team cleaned ¼ as many
blocks as Saturday. How many city
blocks did the street sweepers clean on
