# Common Core Standard 5.NF.A.2 Questions

Solve word problems involving addition and subtraction of fractions referring to the same whole, including cases of unlike denominators, e.g., by using visual fraction models or equations to represent the problem. Use benchmark fractions and number sense of fractions to estimate mentally and assess the reasonableness of answers. For example, recognize an incorrect result 2/5 + 1/2 = 3/7, by observing that 3/7 < 1/2.

A bird watcher observes a bird flying at a height of $6/10$ kilometer. The bird dives down toward the ground then continues flying at a height $2/5$ kilometer below its original height.

The bird watcher states that the bird is now flying at a height of $4/5$ kilometer.

Which TWO statements are true?
1. Since $6/10$ minus $2/5$ is $4/5$, the height is reasonable.
2. Since $4/5$ is greater than $6/10$, the height is not reasonable.
3. The fraction $2/5$ is $4/10$, and $4/10$ equals $4/5$, so the height is reasonable.
4. The fraction $2/5$ is $4/10$, and $6/10$ minus $4/10$ does not equal $4/5$, so the height is not reasonable.
5. The fraction $2/5$ is $4/10$, and $6/10$ plus $4/10$ is less than $4/5$, so the height is not reasonable.
