    A hiker is tracking the fraction of a long-distance trail she completes each day, splitting her walking into sections before and after lunch.
    (a)
    A hiker walks 25\frac{2}{5} of a trail before lunch and 13\frac{1}{3} of the trail after lunch. Calculate what fraction of the trail she has walked in total.
    [2 marks]
    (b)

  3. 3
    A baker is scaling a cake recipe up and down using fractional quantities of flour, and needs to compare mixed numbers and improper fractions.
    (a)
    A recipe requires 3153\frac{1}{5} cups of flour to make one large cake. A baker wants to know how many small cakes can be made if each small cake uses 25\frac{2}{5} of a cup. Calculate 315÷253\frac{1}{5} \div \frac{2}{5}, giving your answer as a mixed number where appropriate.
    [3 marks]
    (b)
    The baker then wants to make a batch using 2232\frac{2}{3} times the original recipe. Calculate 223×3152\frac{2}{3} \times 3\frac{1}{5}, giving your answer as a mixed number.

  4. 4
    A charity is tracking the fraction of its fundraising target reached each day over a three-day appeal, and wants to work out both fractions of the target and the total target amount.
    (a)
    A charity raised money over three days. On Monday it raised 38\frac{3}{8} of its target, on Tuesday it raised 14\frac{1}{4} of its target, and on Wednesday it raised the rest of its target, which was 900 dollars. Calculate the fraction of the target raised on Wednesday.
    [4 marks]
    (b)
    Given that 38\frac{3}{8} of the target equals 900 dollars (the amount raised on Wednesday), calculate the total target amount.
    [4 marks]
    (c)
    The charity decides that next year's target will be 1161\frac{1}{6} times this year's target of 2400 dollars. Calculate next year's target, then calculate what fraction of next year's target the 900 dollars raised on Wednesday this year represents, giving your answer as a fraction in its simplest form.
