Answer:
For your area models you would draw two rectangles and divide one into 2 equal sections, and the other one with 8 equal sections. You then shade 1 box out of the first triangle with 2 equal sides. Then you would shade 7 boxes on the rectangle with 8 equal sides. These diagrams would show you that 7/8 and 1/2 are not equivalent.
To find out what fractions are equivalent to 1/2 you would take 1/2 and times the numerator and denominator by the same number.
1/2*2/2= 2/4
2/4=1/2
1/2*9/9= 9/18
9/18=1/2
2/4 and 9/18 both equal 1/2
Hope this helps ;)
I got 5 for the first one and 4 for the second one
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the number midway between 3/2 and 4/2, add them up and divide by 2
we have, 3/2 + 4/2 = 7/2
7/2 ÷ 2 = 7/4
Repeat the same for the number midway between 1/2 and 2/2 to get 3/4
The answer then is, 7/4 - 3/4 = 4/4
