Equivalent Fractions & Comparing
Part A: Fix the Sentence
Each sentence has an error. Rewrite it correctly on the line.
1. Fix the sentence:
810 and 35 are not equivalent because they have different denominators.
Rewrite: 810 and 35 are not equivalent because 810 simplifies to 45, not 35.
2. Fix the sentence:
13 is greater than 12 because 3 is greater than 2.
Rewrite: 13 is less than 12 because when the numerator is the same, the fraction with the smaller denominator is larger.
3. Fix the sentence:
An equivalent fraction for 37 is 914.
Rewrite: An equivalent fraction for 37 is 921 because you multiply both 3 and 7 by 3.
Part B: Fill in the Blank
Write the missing word or number on each line.
1. 38 = 9 24 .
2. 1421 in simplest form is 23.
3. The GCF of 6 and 9 is 3.
4. 56 = 15 18 .
Part C: Short Answer
Answer each question in one or two complete sentences.
1. How can you tell which is greater, 25 or 310, without a calculator?
Rewrite 25 as 410. Since 410 is greater than 310, the fraction 25 is greater.
2. Why does dividing both parts of a fraction by the same number give an equivalent fraction?
Dividing the numerator and denominator by the same number is the same as dividing by 1, so the fraction keeps the same value.
Equivalent Fractions & Comparing
★ Part A: Fix the Sentence
Each sentence has an error. Rewrite it correctly on the line.
1) Fix the sentence:
8/10 and 3/5 are not equivalent because they have different denominators.
Rewrite: 8/10 and 3/5 are not equivalent because 8/10 simplifies to 4/5, not 3/5.
2) Fix the sentence:
1/3 is greater than 1/2 because 3 is greater than 2.
Rewrite: 1/3 is less than 1/2 because when the numerator is the same, the fraction with the smaller denominator is larger.
3) Fix the sentence:
An equivalent fraction for 3/7 is 9/14.
Rewrite: An equivalent fraction for 3/7 is 9/21 because you multiply both 3 and 7 by 3.
★ Part B: Fill in the Blank
Write the missing word or number on each line.
1) 3/8 = 9/24.
2) 14/21 in simplest form is 2/3.
3) The GCF of 6 and 9 is 3.
4) 5/6 = 15/18.
★ Part C: Short Answer
Answer each question in one or two complete sentences.
1) How can you tell which is greater, 2/5 or 3/10, without a calculator?
Rewrite 2/5 as 4/10. Since 4/10 is greater than 3/10, the fraction 2/5 is greater.
2) Why does dividing both parts of a fraction by the same number give an equivalent fraction?
Dividing the numerator and denominator by the same number is the same as dividing by 1, so the fraction keeps the same value.
