Question

13. Represent Write three different fractions

that each match the shaded part of the
drawing.

Answer 1

Answers:

8/12

2/3

4/6

============================================================

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 8 pizza slices shaded out of 12 total.

One fraction we can form is 8/12

Divide each part by the GCF 4

• 8/4 = 2
• 12/4 = 3

This means 8/12 is the same as 2/3

Check out the image below to see how 8/12 and 2/3 are the same. Refer to figure 1. We have 2 slices shaded out of 3 total.

Then check out figure 2 to see how 2/3 and 4/6 are the same. By extension, this means that 8/12 and 4/6 are the same. Figure 2 shows 4 shaded slices out of 6 total.

There are infinitely many ways we can split up this pie, so there are infinitely many fractions to write as the answers.
