Understanding Fractions in Models A and B

The video tutorial explains how to make the fraction of pink blocks in model B equivalent to that in model A. Model A has 5 equal sections with 1 pink block, making 1/5 of it pink. Model B, with 20 blocks, needs 4 pink blocks to match the fraction of model A. The tutorial demonstrates the calculation and reasoning behind this equivalence.

What is Mary trying to achieve with the pink blocks in model B?

• Make them all pink

• Match the fraction of pink blocks in model A

• Double the number of pink blocks

• Remove all pink blocks
