Here are the solutions to the problems:

3. Write a sum for the number lines below and calculate the answers.

b)

  1. Identify the fraction represented by each segment on the number line.

    The line from 0 to 1 is divided into 4 equal parts, so each part is 14\frac{1}{4}.

  2. Identify the first jump.

    It covers 2 parts, so it represents 24\frac{2}{4}.

  3. Identify the second jump.

    It covers 1 part, so it represents 14\frac{1}{4}.

  4. Write the sum and calculate the answer.

    24+14=34\frac{2}{4} + \frac{1}{4} = \frac{3}{4}

    The sum is 24+14=34\boxed{\frac{2}{4} + \frac{1}{4} = \frac{3}{4}}.

    c)

  5. Identify the fraction represented by each segment on the number line.

    The line from 0 to 1 is divided into 3 equal parts, so each part is 13\frac{1}{3}.

  6. Identify the first jump.

    It covers 1 part, so it represents 13\frac{1}{3}.

  7. Identify the second jump.

    It covers 1 part, so it represents 13\frac{1}{3}.

  8. Write the sum and calculate the answer.

    13+13=23\frac{1}{3} + \frac{1}{3} = \frac{2}{3}

    The sum is 13+13=23\boxed{\frac{1}{3} + \frac{1}{3} = \frac{2}{3}}.

    d)

  9. Identify the fraction represented by each segment on the number line.

    The line from 0 to 1 is divided into 5 equal parts, so each part is 15\frac{1}{5}.

  10. Identify the first jump.

    It covers 2 parts, so it represents 25\frac{2}{5}.

  11. Identify the second jump.

    It covers 2 parts, so it represents 25\frac{2}{5}.

  12. Write the sum and calculate the answer.

    25+25=45\frac{2}{5} + \frac{2}{5} = \frac{4}{5}

    The sum is 25+25=45\boxed{\frac{2}{5} + \frac{2}{5} = \frac{4}{5}}.

    e)

  13. Identify the fraction represented by each segment on the number line.

    The line from 0 to 1 is divided into 6 equal parts, so each part is 16\frac{1}{6}.

  14. Identify the first jump.

    It covers 3 parts, so it represents 36\frac{3}{6}.

  15. Identify the second jump.

    It covers 2 parts, so it represents 26\frac{2}{6}.

  16. Write the sum and calculate the answer.

    36+26=56\frac{3}{6} + \frac{2}{6} = \frac{5}{6}

    The sum is 36+26=56\boxed{\frac{3}{6} + \frac{2}{6} = \frac{5}{6}}.

    4. Draw number lines for the following sums.

    a) 14+24=\frac{1}{4} + \frac{2}{4} =

  17. Calculate the sum.

    14+24=34\frac{1}{4} + \frac{2}{4} = \frac{3}{4}
  18. Draw a number line from 0 to 1, divided into 4 equal segments.

    Mark the points 14\frac{1}{4}, 24\frac{2}{4}, 34\frac{3}{4}, and 1 (or 44\frac{4}{4}).

  19. Draw an arrow starting from 0 and ending at 14\frac{1}{4}.

  20. Draw a second arrow starting from 14\frac{1}{4} and extending 24\frac{2}{4} more, ending at 34\frac{3}{4}.

    The number line should look like this:

    0 ---|---|---|---|--- 1
        1/4 2/4 3/4
        <-----> (1/4)
            <-----> (2/4)
    

    The answer is 34\boxed{\frac{3}{4}}.

    b) 12+14=\frac{1}{2} + \frac{1}{4} =

  21. Find a common denominator and calculate the sum.

    The common denominator for 2 and 4 is 4.

    12=24\frac{1}{2} = \frac{2}{4} 24+14=34\frac{2}{4} + \frac{1}{4} = \frac{3}{4}
  22. Draw a number line from 0 to 1, divided into 4 equal segments.

    Mark the points 14\frac{1}{4}, 24\frac{2}{4} (or 12\frac{1}{2}), 34\frac{3}{4}, and 1 (or 44\frac{4}{4}).

  23. Draw an arrow starting from 0 and ending at 24\frac{2}{4} (which is 12\frac{1}{2}).

  24. Draw a second arrow starting from 24\frac{2}{4} and extending 14\frac{1}{4} more, ending at 34\frac{3}{4}.

    The number line should look like this:

    0 ---|---|---|---|--- 1
        1/4 2/4 3/4
        <---------> (1/2 or 2/4)
                <---> (1/4)
    

    The answer is 34\boxed{\frac{3}{4}}.

    Problem solving:
    A chocolate cake is cut into 30 pieces. If a fifth has been eaten, how many pieces are left?

  25. Calculate the number of pieces eaten.

    Pieces eaten=15×30\text{Pieces eaten} = \frac{1}{5} \times 30 Pieces eaten=305=6\text{Pieces eaten} = \frac{30}{5} = 6
  26. Calculate the number of pieces left.

    Pieces left=Total pieces−Pieces eaten\text{Pieces left} = \text{Total pieces} - \text{Pieces eaten} Pieces left=30−6=24\text{Pieces left} = 30 - 6 = 24

    There are 24\boxed{24} pieces left.
