Are 1/4 and 2/8 equivalent? Prove yes or no.
Yes, if I multiply the numerator and denominator of 1/4 by 2, my new fraction is 2/8.
300
Are 9/1 and 1/9 equivalent? Explain?
No. Using pies as an example, 9/1 means 9 "whole pies", and 1/9 means if you had one big pie sliced into 9 parts, you'd get 1/9 of it.
300
Use what you know about fractions with the same numerators to solve. Which is greater? 4/7 or 4/13.
4/7 is greater because when the numerators are the same, you can look at the denominators to determine which fraction is greater. The smaller denominator actually indicates a larger fraction.
300
Two or more fractions that represent the same part/whole relationship and are considered equal.

Which is NOT equivalent to 1/2...3/4, 4/8, or 5/10.
3/4.
400
Which fraction is NOT equivalent to the others? 1/8, 2/16, 3/32
3/32 because it should be 4/32 (if you multiply 2/16 by 2).

Is 10/2 equal to 5? Why or why not?
Yes, think of it as a division problem when the numerator is greater than the denominator. 10 divided by 2=5.

Is 3/7 greater than 1/2 or less than 1/2? Why?
Less than. I know that 3/6 is equivalent to 1/2, so 3/7 is less than that.

What is 3/15 in simplest form?
1/5, found by dividing the numerator and denominator by 3.
500
Is 3/9 the simplest form of 9/27? Explain.
No. They are equivalent, but 3/9 can be reduced further by dividing both the numerator and denominator by 3. The simplest form of 3/9 and 9/27 is 1/3.
500
Use the "Compare to 1/2" strategy and any other strategy you may need to solve. Which is the greatest...3/9, 5/12, 5/6, 4/5
5/6. 3/9 and 5/12 are both less than 1/2, so they aren't the greatest. This leaves us with 4/5 and 5/6 as possibilities. To compare them, we have to find a common denominator, which is 30. SO...4/5 x 6= 24/30 and 5/6 x 5= 25/30. Therefore, 5/6 is slightly greater. *Please note: 5/6 is NOT greater just because the numbers 5 and 6 are greater than 4 and 5!!!!! You must prove it with multiplication!!!
500
The term used to describe fractions such as 1/2, 1/3, or 2/7, which can not be divided to find an equivalent fraction. These fractions are written in their most "basic" form.
