The fraction models below represent two fractions of the same whole. How much of the Fraction 5 over 8 is in the Fraction 1 over
2? Two rectangles of the same size are drawn side by side touching each other. The first rectangle is divided into 8 portions of equal size. Five of these are shaded. The shaded portion alone is labeled as 5 over 8. The second rectangle is divided into 2 portions of equal size. One portion is shaded. The shaded portion alone is labeled 1 over 2.
Fraction 5 over 16
Fraction 4 over 5
Fraction 5 over 4
