Question

Look at the picture. Write what part of the strip is each green piece. Write the part for a piece of each colour.




How many one-fourths will make a half?
How many $\frac{1}{8}$ will make $\frac{1}{4}$?
How many $\frac{1}{8}$ are in $\frac{1}{2}$?
Now ask your friends some questions on the same picture.

Answer 1

The green strip is divided into 4 equal parts. Thus, each part is $\frac{1}{4}$ of the whole green strip.

Two one-fourths will make a half.

$$\begin{gathered} \frac{1}{4}+\frac{1}{4}=\frac{1+1}{4} \\ =\frac{2}{4} \\ =\frac{1}{2} \end{gathered}$$

Two one-eighths will make $\frac{1}{4}$.

$$\begin{gathered} \frac{1}{8}+\frac{1}{8}=\frac{1+1}{8} \\ =\frac{2}{8} \\ =\frac{1}{4} \end{gathered}$$
