Question

Josh and sam each have a board to cut. The boards are the same size and are in the shape of a rectangle. Josh cuts his board in halves and uses one half of the board. Sam cuts his board in fourths and uses two fourths of the board. Do both boys use the same amount of their boards?

Answer 1

Hi,yes, they do.
(2/2)/(4/2)=1/2
or
1*2/2*4=2/4
Hope this helps you.
