Fractions

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

• equivalent, because the shaded area of strip b is greater than the shaded area of strip a.

• not equivalent, because strip a has 4 parts in all and strip b has 8 parts in all

• equivalent, because the shaded are of strip a is the same as the shaded area of strip b

• no equivalent, because strip a has 3 shaded parts and strip b has 6 shaded parts.

Fraction strips are shown. Which comparison is true?

• 1/6 < 1/4

• 1/3 < 1/8

• 1/4 > 1/2

• 1/8 = 2/8

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

• 6/8 < 8/8, because sixths are smaller parts than eighths

• 6/8 < 8/8, because 6 out of 8 parts is less than 8 out of 8 parts

• 6/8 > 8/8, because sixths are larger parts than eighths

• 6/8 > 8/8, because 6 out of 8 parts is greater than 8 out of 8 parts
