Mrs. Bryan walks 1/4 mile to school. Ms. Price says that Mrs. Bryan walks 2/8 mile to school. Is Ms. Price correct? Explain.
Yes, Ms. Price is correct because 1/4 = 2/8.
Is a 1/2 greater than, less than, or equal to 2/3?
GREATER THAN!
6 7/8 > 6 3/4
TRUE! Because 6 is a whole number so we would look at the fraction pieces and I know 7/8 is larger than 3/4
Put me in ascending order....4/5, 1/4, 6/8, 2/4.
1/4, 2/4, 6/8, 4/5
4/6 is less than, equal to, or greater than 1/2?
4/6 > 1/2
2/4< 1/8
False! 2/4= 1/2 and I know 1/8 is smaller than 1/2. So 2/4>1/8.
What is the equivalent fraction for 6/4? Explain!
a. 4/6
b. 12/4
c. 12/8
d. 6/12
c. 12/8
Which fraction is greatest: 1/3, 1/4, 2/5, 3/12? Explain!
I know 1/3 is the least, I know 1/4= 3/12, so 2/5 is the greatest fraction!
6/8 = 1/2
FALSE!
Place these fractions in ascending order: 1/2, 15/16, and 5/4.
1/2, 15/1/16 and 5/4
3/8 less than, greater than, or equal to 1/2? EXPLAIN!
3/8 < 1/2 because I know 4/8 = 1/2
12/6 < 5/3
False! 12/6 = 6/6+6/6= 2 wholes! 5/3 = 3/3 + 2/3 = 1 whole and 2/3.
So, 12/6 > 5/3

a. 8/10 b. 16/ 20 c. 8/12 d. 6/8 e. 3/6
8/10 AND 16/20
