[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]"You have 1.5 cups of glaze. It takes 1/3 cup to glaze a pot. How many glazed pots can you complete?" My daughter answered 4, and I agree with her. It asks how many can you complete. If the question was "How many pots can you glaze?" I agree the answer would be 4.5, which is what the teacher was looking for. By using the word "complete," I think it's looking for the smallest integer that can be completed and not looking for partial pots. [/quote] If you were a smarter parent, you would have asked your daughter to DEFEND her (or your) response. [/quote] Umm, I did and she did.[/quote]
