Question

Whats an strategy you could use to compare 2 out of 6 and 5 out of 8

Answer 1

You can use fractions to compare that. Make two shapes that are exactly the same, divide one of them into 6 equal pieces and divide the other one into 8 equal pieces. Shade in the 2 pieces in the first shape and then shade in 5 pieces out of the second shape.
