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

The models shown are the same size. Each model is divided into equal-size parts 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
