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
