The answer is followed by a description of a possible model and an equation. (1) A circle is divided into 8 equal pieces. 5 of the pieces are shaded. (2) orA whole is divided into 4 equal parts. 3 of the parts are shaded. 1 of the shaded parts is taken away. 2 shaded parts remain. (3) A whole is divided into 5 parts. 4 of the parts are shaded, representing the part of the class that wore either a red, white, or blue shirt. 1 of the 5 parts represents the fraction of students who wore white shirts. 2 of the 5 parts represent the fraction of students who wore blue shirts. 1 of 5 parts represents the fraction of the class that wore red shirts.

Number and Operations—Fractions: 4.NF.4
“Build fractions from unit fractions by applying and extending previous understandings of operations on whole numbers.”
4. “Apply and extend previous understandings of multiplication to multiply a fraction by a whole number.
a. “Understand a fraction as a multiple of
b. “Understand a multiple of as a multiple of and use this understanding to multiply a fraction by a whole number.
c. “Solve word problems involving multiplication of a fraction by a whole number, e.g., by using visual fraction models and equations to represent the problem.”
Background
Multiplication of a fraction by a whole number requires students to multiply the numerator of the fraction by the whole number. For example, can be modeled by 3 groups of 4 equal parts with 1 out of the 4 equal parts shaded in each group.
