Question

Which of the following statements about the given fraction strips are correct?
(Note: There can be more than one correct answer.)

• A. The third fraction strip is equivalent to $\frac{4}{6}$.
• B. The fourth fraction strip is equivalent to $\frac{4}{6}$.
• C. The first and second fraction strips represent equivalent fractions.
• D. The first fraction strip represents a unit fraction.

Answer 1

Answer: (B), (D)

The first fraction strip represents a unit fraction.

Let’s look at the fractions represented by the given fraction strips.


a. The first fraction strip represents a unit fraction as its numerator is one.

b. The first and second fraction strips are not equivalent fractions as we cannot obtain the other by multiplying or dividing one fraction by any number.

c. The third fraction strip is not equivalent to $\frac{4}{6}$ as $\frac{3}{5}$ cannot be converted into $\frac{4}{6}$ by multiplying or dividing with any number.

d. The last fraction strip is equivalent to $\frac{4}{6}$ as $\frac{2\times 2}{3\times 2}=\frac{4}{6}$.
Therefore, options a and d are correct.
