3. Bailey and Dylan each had pies that were the same size. Bailey ate one-third of the pie. Dylan ate one one-fourth of the pie. Which statement is true?

• A. They both ate the same amount of pie, because both fractions have a numerator or 1.
• B. Bailey ate more pie, because each slice of pie cut into 3 equal parts is larger than each slice of pie cut into four equal parts.
• C. Dylan ate more pie, because a denominator of 4 is larger than a denominator of 3.
• D. There is not enough information to determine who ate more pie.

4. The models shown are the same size and are each divided into equal parts. The models are shaded to show two fractions. Based on the models, which statement is true?

• 1/3 is greater than 6/8, because thirds are larger than eighths.
• 2/3 is greater than 2/8, because 2 shaded parts out of 3 is greater is than 2 shaded parts out of 8
• 1/3 is less than 2/8, because 1 shaded part out of 3 parts is less than 2 shaded parts out of 8 parts
• 2/3 is less than 2/8, because thirds are smaller than eights

5. The models shown are the same size and are each divided into equal-sized parts. The models are shaded to represent two fractions. Which statement is true?

• 1/3 = 1/4, because each model shows 1 whole.
• 1/3 <1/4 , because 3 is less than 4.
• 2/3 = 2/4, because each model has 2 shaded parts.
• 2/3 > 2/4, because thirds are larger than fourths.

6. The number lines model two different fractions. Which comparison of these fractions is true?

• A. 1/8=2/8
• B. 2/8 < 1/8
• C. 2/8 > 1/8
• D. 1/2 > 1/1

7. Fraction strips are shown. Which comparison and explanation are true?

• A. 4/6 > 4/8, because sixths are larger than eighths
• B. 4/6 < 4/8, because eighths are larger than sixths
• C. 4/6 < 4/8, because sixths are larger than eighths
• D. 4/6 > 4/8, because eighths are larger than sixths

8. The models shown are the same size. Each model is divided into equal sized parts and is shaded to represent a fraction. Which statement is true?

• A. 3/8 < 5/8 ,because thirds are smaller parts than fifths
• B. 3/8 < 5/8 ,because 3 out of 8 parts is less than 5 out of 8 parts
• C. 3/8 > 5/8 , because thirds are larger parts than fifths
• D. 3/8 > 5/8, because 3 out of 8 parts is greater than 8 out of 8 parts
