Question

Which model represents a fraction greater than Three-fifths? A circle divided into 5 equal parts. One part is shaded. A circle divided into 10 equal parts. 5 parts are shaded. A circle divided into 6 equal parts. 2 parts are shaded. A circle divided into 10 equal parts. 8 parts are shaded.

Answer 1

Answer:

A circle divided into 10 equal parts with 8 parts shaded= Answer D

Step-by-step explanation:

PLEASE MARK BRAINLiEST

write them down as fractions so its easier to compare.

A circle divided into 5 parts with 1 part shaded = 1/5

A circle divided into 10 parts with 5 parts shaded = 5/10

A circle divided into 6 parts with 2 parts shaded = 1/3

A circle divided into 10 parts with 8 parts shaded = 8/10

we can see that they don't have a common denominator so lets fix that

1/5 = 6/30

5/10 = 15/30

1/3 = 10/30

8/10 = 24/30

3/5 = 18/30

find which one is greater than 3/5

Only the 24/30 one is greater, and looking back that is the circle divided into 10 parts with 8 of them shaded.

Answer 2

Answer: A circle divided into 10 equal parts with 8 parts shaded

Step-by-step explanation:

Alright, there are a lot of words here so lets write them down as fractions so its easier to compare.

A circle divided into 5 parts with 1 part shaded = 1/5

A circle divided into 10 parts with 5 parts shaded = 5/10

A circle divided into 6 parts with 2 parts shaded = 1/3

A circle divided into 10 parts with 8 parts shaded = 8/10

Okay so looking at this we can see that they don't have a common denominator so lets fix that

1/5 = 6/30

5/10 = 15/30

1/3 = 10/30

8/10 = 24/30

3/5 = 18/30

Now lets find which one is greater than 3/5

Only the 24/30 one is greater, and looking back that is the circle divided into 10 parts with 8 of them shaded.
