Question

Draw fraction strips to add 1/4 and 1/6 Write an equation.

Answer 1

Answer:

fraction strips would just be;

1 box split into 12 parts because 12 is the common denominator, and 1/4 is equal to 3/12, so you would shade in 3 of the parts, and then 1/6 = 2/12, so you would shade in 2 parts. In the end, you should have a box (or rectangle) with 12 parts, and only 5 of those parts should be shaded in.

The equation would be as follows:

1/4+1/6 = 3/12+2/12 = 5/12

Hope this helped!! :)
