Question 1: Answer is B

Fractions with common denominators may be compared using the numerators as a guide. Students don't need to draw a benchmark fraction in order to compare the two fraction. Fraction with larger numerator is the greater fraction.

12a) additional question: without drawing a benchmark fraction, which is greater between the two fraction 3/6 and 5/6. How about 2/6 and 3/6 ?

I show the number line as a proof that larger numerator is greater if the fractions have the same denominator.

So did you get the correct answer , which is greater between 3/6 and 5/6? You are right. 5/6 is greater than 3/6. Can you write it to numerical form? 5/6 > 3/6 that is how you write it in numeral form.

Now how about between 2/6 and 3/6, which fraction is greater? You are right. 3/6 is greater than 2/6. Can you write it to numerical form? 3/6 > 2/6 that is how you write it in numerical form.

Students don't need to draw a benchmark fraction in order to compare the two fraction. Fraction with common numerators may be compared and ordered using the denominators as a guide.Fraction with larger denominator is the lesser fraction.

12b) additional question: without drawing a benchmark fraction, which is greater between the two fraction 3/10 and 3/8. How about 3/8 and 3/4 ?

 

I show the number line as a proof that larger denominator is lesser if the fractions have the same numerator.

So did you get the correct answer , which is greater between 3/10 and 3/8? You are right. 3/8 is greater than 3/10. Can you write it to numerical form? 3/8 > 3/10 that is how you write it in numeral form.

Now how about between 3/8 and 3/4, which fraction is greater? You are right. 3/4 is greater than 3/8. Can you write it to numerical form? 3/4 > 3/8 that is how you write it in numerical form.
