Comparing Fractions on a Number Line

What is a benchmark fraction?

• A fraction that is used for comparison

• The smallest fraction possible

• A fraction with a numerator of 1

• A fraction that cannot be simplified

Why do we use two number lines for comparing fractions?

• Because it's required by math rules

• To make it easier to see which is larger

• To confuse the students

• To take up more space on the paper

How do we determine which fraction is larger?

• By seeing which is closer to 1 on a number line

• By comparing their numerators

• By comparing their denominators

• By asking a teacher

What is the purpose of using number lines in comparing fractions?

• To save time

• To visually represent fractions

• To make math more complicated

• To avoid calculation

Why is it tricky to divide a number line into five equal parts?

• Because it requires precise measurement

• Because five is an odd number

• Because it's easier with even numbers

• All of the above

Which fraction is closer to 1, 2/3 or 3/5?

• 2/3

• 3/5

• Both are equally close

• It cannot be determined

What is the importance of having equal-sized and aligned number lines?

• It is easier to draw

• It ensures accurate comparison

• There is no importance

• It looks better visually

Which fraction is larger, 7/8 or 5/6?

• It cannot be determined

• Both are equal

• 5/6

• 7/8

What does it mean if two fractions are equivalent?

• They are both less than 1

• They have the same denominator

• They represent the same value

• They have the same numerator

Which of the following fractions are equivalent?

• 1/2 and 2/5

• 7/8 and 5/6

• 3/5 and 2/3

• 4/8 and 2/4
