Fraction Comparison

Which TWO comparisons are true?

A student measured the length of two worms.

Worm S was 1/2 foot long.

Worm T was 2/2 foot long.

Which statement is true?

• The length of Worm S is greater than the length of Worm T.

• The length of Worm T is greater than the length of Worm S.

• The length of Worm S is equal to the length of Worm T.

• There is not enough information to compare the lengths of the worms.

Fraction strips are shown. Which comparison is true?

The models shown are the same size. Each model is divided into equal-sized parts and is shaded to represent a fraction. Which statement is true?

The models shown are the same size and are each divided into equal-size parts. The models are shaded to represent two fractions. Which statement is true?

• 2/3 > 2/4, because thirds are larger than fourths.

• 2/3 = 2/4, because each model has 2 parts shaded.

• 1/3 < 1/4, because 3 is less than 4.

• 1/3 = 1/4, because each model shows 1 whole.

Bailey and Dylan each had pies that were the same size. Bailey ate 1/3 of his pie. Dylan ate 1/4 of his pie. Which statement is true?

• The boys ate the same amount of pie, because both fractions have a numerator of 1.

• Bailey ate more pie, because each slice of a pie cut into 3 equal parts is larger than each slice of a pie cut into 4 equal parts.

• Dylan ate more pie, because a denominator of 4 is larger than a denominator of 3.

• There is not enough information to determine who ate more pie.
