Question

Need help with 2,3,4

Answer 1

Answers:

In these exercices are ilustrated the representations of the fractions

2) Firstly, we have 3 equal segments, each one representing $\frac{1}{4}$, hence:

$\frac{3}{4}$ is 3 copies of $\frac{1}{4}$

Let's prove it, taking into account we are adding fractions with the same denominator:

$\frac{1}{4}+\frac{1}{4}+\frac{1}{4}=\frac{3}{4}$

There are 4 equal parts that make a whole

Four copies of $\frac{1}{4}$ make $\frac{4}{4}$ or 1 whole

$\frac{1}{4}+\frac{1}{4}+\frac{1}{4}+\frac{1}{4}=\frac{4}{4}=1$

3) Here we have a line divided into four segments, each one of $\frac{1}{5}$. Hence:

This is $\frac{4}{5}$ of a line. $\frac{4}{5}$ is 4 lengths of  $\frac{1}{5}$

$\frac{1}{5}+\frac{1}{5}+\frac{1}{5}+\frac{1}{5}=\frac{4}{5}$

If we draw one more $\frac{1}{5}$ we will have $\frac{5}{5}$ or 1 whole.

Then:

5 lengths of $\frac{1}{5}$ make $\frac{5}{5}$ or 1 whole.

4) In this part the answer is in the attached image. If we have two equal segments, each one of $\frac{1}{3}$ we will have as a result $\frac{2}{3}$.

If we add another $\frac{1}{3}$ segment, we will have three segments of $\frac{1}{3}$, having as a result $\frac{3}{3}=1$
