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 area of Strip A is the same as the shaded area of Strip B

• not equivalent, because Strip A has 3 shaded parts and Strip B has 6 shaded parts

• >

• <

• =
