Which statement is true about Models R and T?

• The shaded parts of Model R and Model T are different sizes, but each model represents the same fraction of the whole.

• The shaded part of Model R cannot be written as the fraction 1/5, because the parts are not all equal in size.

• The shaded part of Model T is 1/4, because the parts are all equal in size.

• The total number of parts in Model R is 5, so 1/5 of Model R is shaded.

Answer explanation

All parts of the answer choice must be true. Also remember to have a fraction your parts MUST be equal. If the parts are not equal, like in Model R, it can NOT be a fraction.
