Step-by-step solution for: Types of Fractions Worksheets
The task involves comparing fractions represented by shaded parts of circles and determining whether one fraction is greater than, less than, or equal to the other. Below is a step-by-step explanation of how to solve each problem.
1. Fractions as Parts of a Whole: Each circle represents a whole, and the shaded portion represents a fraction of that whole.
2. Comparing Fractions: To compare two fractions, look at the number of shaded parts relative to the total number of parts in each circle.
3. Symbols:
- `>` means "greater than"
- `<` means "less than"
- `=` means "equal to"
#### Problem 1:
- Left Circle: 3 out of 4 parts are shaded (Fraction: \( \frac{3}{4} \))
- Right Circle: 4 out of 5 parts are shaded (Fraction: \( \frac{4}{5} \))
- Comparison: \( \frac{3}{4} < \frac{4}{5} \) because \( \frac{4}{5} \) has more shaded parts relative to its total parts.
- Answer: `<`
#### Problem 2:
- Left Circle: 2 out of 3 parts are shaded (Fraction: \( \frac{2}{3} \))
- Right Circle: 3 out of 4 parts are shaded (Fraction: \( \frac{3}{4} \))
- Comparison: \( \frac{2}{3} < \frac{3}{4} \) because \( \frac{3}{4} \) has more shaded parts relative to its total parts.
- Answer: `<`
#### Problem 3:
- Left Circle: 5 out of 8 parts are shaded (Fraction: \( \frac{5}{8} \))
- Right Circle: 3 out of 4 parts are shaded (Fraction: \( \frac{3}{4} \))
- Comparison: \( \frac{5}{8} < \frac{3}{4} \) because \( \frac{3}{4} \) has more shaded parts relative to its total parts.
- Answer: `<`
#### Problem 4:
- Left Circle: 3 out of 6 parts are shaded (Fraction: \( \frac{3}{6} \))
- Right Circle: 2 out of 4 parts are shaded (Fraction: \( \frac{2}{4} \))
- Simplify both fractions:
- \( \frac{3}{6} = \frac{1}{2} \)
- \( \frac{2}{4} = \frac{1}{2} \)
- Comparison: \( \frac{3}{6} = \frac{2}{4} \)
- Answer: `=`
#### Problem 5:
- Left Circle: 7 out of 8 parts are shaded (Fraction: \( \frac{7}{8} \))
- Right Circle: 5 out of 6 parts are shaded (Fraction: \( \frac{5}{6} \))
- Comparison: \( \frac{7}{8} > \frac{5}{6} \) because \( \frac{7}{8} \) has more shaded parts relative to its total parts.
- Answer: `>`
#### Problem 6:
- Left Circle: 3 out of 4 parts are shaded (Fraction: \( \frac{3}{4} \))
- Right Circle: 2 out of 3 parts are shaded (Fraction: \( \frac{2}{3} \))
- Comparison: \( \frac{3}{4} > \frac{2}{3} \) because \( \frac{3}{4} \) has more shaded parts relative to its total parts.
- Answer: `>`
#### Problem 7:
- Left Circle: 1 out of 3 parts are shaded (Fraction: \( \frac{1}{3} \))
- Right Circle: 3 out of 8 parts are shaded (Fraction: \( \frac{3}{8} \))
- Comparison: \( \frac{1}{3} > \frac{3}{8} \) because \( \frac{1}{3} \) has more shaded parts relative to its total parts.
- Answer: `>`
#### Problem 8:
- Left Circle: 3 out of 4 parts are shaded (Fraction: \( \frac{3}{4} \))
- Right Circle: 5 out of 6 parts are shaded (Fraction: \( \frac{5}{6} \))
- Comparison: \( \frac{3}{4} < \frac{5}{6} \) because \( \frac{5}{6} \) has more shaded parts relative to its total parts.
- Answer: `<`
#### Problem 9:
- Left Circle: 2 out of 3 parts are shaded (Fraction: \( \frac{2}{3} \))
- Right Circle: 5 out of 8 parts are shaded (Fraction: \( \frac{5}{8} \))
- Comparison: \( \frac{2}{3} > \frac{5}{8} \) because \( \frac{2}{3} \) has more shaded parts relative to its total parts.
- Answer: `>`
#### Problem 10:
- Left Circle: 3 out of 4 parts are shaded (Fraction: \( \frac{3}{4} \))
- Right Circle: 5 out of 6 parts are shaded (Fraction: \( \frac{5}{6} \))
- Comparison: \( \frac{3}{4} < \frac{5}{6} \) because \( \frac{5}{6} \) has more shaded parts relative to its total parts.
