Reading Fractions Area Model

Matthew ate 5/8 of a pizza. Emily ate 5/6 of a pizza. Which expression correctly compares the amounts of pizza Matthew and Emily ate?

• 5/6 < 5/8

• 5/6 > 5/8

• 5/6 = 5/8

• 5/6 + 5/8

The models are shaded to represent two different fractions. Which comparison of these shaded fractions is true?

• 2/8 < 2/3

• 2/6 = 2/3

• 2/8 > 2/3

• 2/6 > 2/3

Each model below is shaded to show a fraction. Which statement is true?

• The shaded parts of the models show that 1/3 = 1/3

• The shaded parts of the models show that 1/4 > 1/3

• The shaded area of Model X is not equal to the shaded area of Model Y because the models are not the same size.

• The shaded area of Model X is equal to the shaded area of Model Y because both models are shaded to represent 1/4.
