Sarina loves ice cream. How might she answer this question?
6/10 = 36/60 and 4/12 = 20/60
She would rather have 6/10 of a tub of ice cream!

You get to be the teacher in this category! Please correct Chris's work and explain your answers.
Chris is partially correct,
18/20 -:2/2=9/10 and 40/50 -:2/2=20/25 but 20/25
is not in simplest form.
20/25 -:5/5=4/5

Simplify and name the bigger fraction.
Before simplifying, I'm going to compare using common denominators.
2/6 = 6/18 >4/18
2/6 = 1/3 and 4/18 = 2/9

Would you rather... State your opinion and back up your ideas by comparing the fractions. Your answer will be judged on how well you explain your fraction comparison.
We know that
5/4 > 2/3 so you'd choose
5/4
if you really think you'd like Krabby Patties and
2/3if you didn't want to eat too much of one!

3/7 of one week is greater than 1/12 of a year.
3/7 is 3 days a week and 1/12 is once a month.
OR
3/7 = 156/365 and 1/12 = 12/365

Cookie Monster and Big Bird are arguing over the brownies that the Count made for them. Cookie Monster got 13/14 of a pan of brownies. Big Bird got 91/98 of a pan of brownies (birds like smaller pieces).
Elmo thought he gave them equal amounts, but now he's not so sure. What did Elmo do?
Elmo is correct.
13/14 * 7/7=91/98

Miss Math likes to express time using fractions. She says that she gets home from school when the little hand is 1/4 of the way around the clock. She eats dinner when it is 4/8 of the way around the clock and she likes to go to bed when the little hand is 5/6 of the way around the clock. Assuming the little hand starts at 12 and goes clockwise, what time could she get home from school, eat dinner and go to bed?
A clock is divided into 12 equal parts.
1/4 = 3/12 = 3:00 home from school
4/8 = 1/2 = 6:00 dinner
5/6 = 10/12 = 10:00 bedtime500
Order from greatest to least.

Would you rather do 99/100 math problems or 98/99 math problems?
Well, there are lots of ways to explain this answer. If you use 9900 as a common denominator and make equivalent fractions then...
99/100 = 9801/9900 and 98/99 = 9800/9900
