Fractions by Whole Number Models

The models shown below are the same size and are each divided into equal-size parts. The models are shaded to represent two fractions. Which statement is true?

• 2/4 > 2/6, because fourths are larger than sixths.

• 2/4 = 2/6, because each model has 2 parts shaded.

• 1/4 < 1/6, because 4 is less than 6.

• 1/4 = 1/6, because each model shows 1 whole.

The number lines below show the fractions 3/6 and 2/4. Is the fraction 3/6 equal to 2/4?

• No, because each number line represents a different whole.

• Yes, because each fraction is the same distance from 0 to 1.

• No, because each number line had a different number of dividers.
