I'll solve this equivalent fractions worksheet by comparing the shaded portions of each pair of circles and determining if they are equal (=) or not equal (≠).
Let me go through each problem one by one:
1) First circle: 3/6 shaded (half), Second circle: 2/4 shaded (half) → 3/6 = 2/4 → =
2) First circle: 1/3 shaded, Second circle: 3/8 shaded → 1/3 ≠ 3/8 → ≠
3) First circle: 1/2 shaded, Second circle: 5/10 shaded (half) → 1/2 = 5/10 → =
4) First circle: 2/12 shaded (1/6), Second circle: 2/8 shaded (1/4) → 2/12 ≠ 2/8 → ≠
5) First circle: 2/4 shaded (half), Second circle: 2/3 shaded → 2/4 ≠ 2/3 → ≠
6) First circle: 2/3 shaded, Second circle: 4/12 shaded (1/3) → 2/3 ≠ 4/12 → ≠
7) First circle: 7/12 shaded, Second circle: 5/12 shaded → 7/12 ≠ 5/12 → ≠
8) First circle: 1/2 shaded, Second circle: 1/3 shaded → 1/2 ≠ 1/3 → ≠
9) First circle: 3/12 shaded (1/4), Second circle: 1/4 shaded → 3/12 = 1/4 → =
10) First circle: 4/6 shaded (2/3), Second circle: 8/12 shaded (2/3) → 4/6 = 8/12 → =
11) First circle: 5/12 shaded, Second circle: 2/6 shaded (1/3 or 4/12) → 5/12 ≠ 4/12 → ≠
12) First circle: 1/3 shaded, Second circle: 3/12 shaded (1/4) → 1/3 ≠ 1/4 → ≠
The completed worksheet would have these symbols in the boxes:
1) =
2) ≠
3) =
4) ≠
5) ≠
6) ≠
7) ≠
8) ≠
9) =
10) =
11) ≠
12) ≠
