Which unit fraction is the LARGEST? — 1/2.Larger denominator = smaller piece. 1/2 has the smallest denominator → it is the largest unit fraction!
Which unit fraction is the SMALLEST? — 1/8.1/8 has the largest denominator → smallest piece → smallest fraction!
Why does a larger denominator mean a smaller piece? — More equal cuts means each cut is smaller.When you cut a whole into MORE equal pieces, each piece is SMALLER!
Is 1/4 > 1/6? — Yes, 1/4 has fewer cuts so each piece is bigger.Yes! Smaller denominator = fewer cuts = bigger pieces. 1/4 > 1/6!
True or False: 1/6 is greater than 1/3. — False — 1/6 < 1/3.False! 1/3 > 1/6 because thirds are bigger slices than sixths!
Which shows the correct comparison of unit fractions? — 1/2 > 1/3.1/2 > 1/3 because halves are bigger than thirds!
How many 1/6 pieces make a whole? — 6.6 pieces of 1/6 = 6/6 = 1 whole!
On a number line divided into 8 parts, what fraction is 3 jumps from 0? — 3/8.3 jumps of 1/8 each = 3/8!
On a number line, which fraction is CLOSER to 1: 5/6 or 3/6? — 5/6.5/6 needs just 1/6 more to reach 1. 3/6 needs 3/6 more. 5/6 is closer to 1!
On a number line from 0 to 1 in fourths, what is between 2/4 and 4/4? — 3/4.2/4, 3/4, 4/4. The fraction between 2/4 and 4/4 is 3/4!
On a number line in thirds from 0 to 1, what is 2/3 + 1/3? — 3/3 = 1.2/3 + 1/3 = 3/3 = 1. Two jumps plus one more lands at 1 on the number line!
A number line is divided into 6 equal spaces from 0 to 1. Which mark is 2/6? — Second mark after 0.2/6 is at the SECOND mark — two jumps of 1/6 from 0!
On a number line in fourths, which fraction is between 1/4 and 3/4? — 2/4.1/4, 2/4, 3/4 — the fraction between is 2/4!
Which statement about 0/3 is correct? — It equals 0.0/3 = 0. Zero pieces of a whole = zero — the starting point on the number line!
Amy walks 3/4 of the way to school. She still has ___ to walk. — 1/4.4/4 − 3/4 = 1/4. She has 1/4 of the way left!
Is 1/4 equivalent to 2/8? — Yes.1/4 × 2/2 = 2/8. Cross-check: 1×8 = 8 and 4×2 = 8. YES, equivalent!
Which fraction is equivalent to 2/6? — 1/3.2/6 ÷ 2/2 = 1/3. Both equal one-third!
Are 3/6 and 4/8 equivalent? — Yes — both equal 1/2.3/6 = 1/2 and 4/8 = 1/2. Both simplify to 1/2 — equivalent!
Cross-multiply to check: are 2/3 and 4/6 equivalent? — Yes, 2×6 = 12 = 3×4.2×6 = 12 and 3×4 = 12. Equal cross-products mean they ARE equivalent!
Which fraction is NOT equivalent to 1/2? — 3/8.3/8: cross-multiply: 1×8=8, 2×3=6. 8 ≠ 6, so 3/8 is NOT equivalent to 1/2!
Fill in: 1/3 = __/9 — 3.1/3 × 3/3 = 3/9. The missing number is 3!
Fill in: 2/5 = 4/__ — 10.Multiply numerator by 2: 2×2=4. Multiply denominator by 2: 5×2=10. Missing number is 10!
True or False: You can create equivalent fractions by multiplying the numerator and denominator by different numbers. — False — you must use the SAME number.False! You MUST multiply (or divide) by the SAME non-zero number to create equivalent fractions!
Is 3/8 greater than or less than 1/2? — Less than — 3/8 < 4/8 = 1/2.1/2 = 4/8. Since 3 < 4, we have 3/8 < 4/8 = 1/2!
Is 5/6 greater than or less than 1/2? — Greater — 5 > 3 (which is half of 6).Half of 6 is 3. Since 5 > 3, we have 5/6 > 1/2!
Compare 3/8 and 5/6 using 1/2 as benchmark. What is the result? — 3/8 < 5/6.3/8 < 1/2 (since 3 < 4). 5/6 > 1/2 (since 5 > 3). Therefore 3/8 < 1/2 < 5/6!
