7.NS.A.3

Solve mathematical problems and problems in real-world context involving the four operations with rational numbers. Computations with rational numbers extend the rules for manipulating fractions to complex fractions where a/b ÷ c/d when a,b,c,and d are all integers and b,c, and d ≠ 0.

7.EE.B.3

Solve multi-step mathematical problems and problems in real-world context posed with positive and negative rational numbers in any form. Convert between forms as appropriate and assess the reasonableness of answers. For example, if a woman making $25 an hour gets a 10% raise, she will make an additional 1/10 of her salary an hour, or $2.50, For a new salary of $27.50 Per hour.
