Each strip of the diagram is shaded to represent a fraction of 1 whole. The fractions represented are -

Each strip of the diagram is shaded to represent a fraction of 1 whole. The fractions represented are -

• not equivalent, because Strip A has 2 parts in all and Strip B has 4 parts in all

• equivalent, because the shaded area of Strip B is greater than the shaded area of Strip A

• not equivalent, because Strip A has 1 shaded part and Strip B has 2 shaded parts

• equivalent, because the shaded area of Strip A is the same as the shaded area of Strip B

Are the fractions 1/3 and 3/6 equivalent?

• Yes, because 1/3 and 3/6 are exactly halfway between 0 and 1 on the number line.

• No, because 1/3 and 3/6 do not represent the same distance from 0.

• Yes, because 1/3 and 3/6 represents the same distance from 0.

• No, because 1/3 and 3/6 both represent 3 equal parts of a whole.

Which statement is true?

• Point R represents 5/8 and 1/2, because both fractions are exactly halfway between 0 and 1 on the number line.

• Point R represents 5/8 and 4/8, because both fractions represent 8 equal parts of a whole.

• Point R represents 4/8 and 1/2, because both fractions are exactly halfway between 0 and 1 on the number line.

• Point R represents 4/8 and 4/6, because both fractions represent 4 equal parts of a whole.

Is the shaded area of Figure A equivalent to the shaded area of Figure B?

• Yes, because Figures A and B represent the same size whole.

• No, because a square is not a rectangle.

• Yes, because Figure A is partitioned into 4 equal parts and Figure B is partitioned into 8 equal parts.

• No, because Figures A and B do not represent the same size whole.
