STAAR-Based Assessment: Compare Fractions

Niyah baked 2 pies as shown by the models below. The pies are shaded to represent 2 different fractions. Which comparison of these fractions is true?

• F) 2/3 = 1/6, because thirds and sixths are equal.

• G) 2/3 < 1/6, because 3 is less than 6.

• H) 2/3 < 1/6, because sixths are larger than thirds.

• J) 2/3 > 1/6, because thirds are larger than sixths.

A restaurant made a pan of lasagna for 2 people. George ate 1/5 of the lasagna, and Zach ate 1/3. Which comparison is correct?

• 1/3 > 1/5, because thirds are larger than fifths.

• 1/5 < 1/3, because fifths are larger than thirds.

• 1/3 = 1/5, because both numerators are 1.

• None of these statements is true.

The models shown below are the same size. They are divided into fourths and fifths. Based on the models, which statement is NOT true?

• A) The fraction 2/4 is greater than 2/5, because fourths are larger than fifths.

• B) The fraction 2/5 is less than 2/4, because less of the circle is shaded.

• C) Both circles are equal, because they both have two pieces shaded.

• D) The fraction 2/5 is less than 2/4, because fifths are smaller than fourths.
