Explain how you can make use of fraction strips to determine which fraction is the biggest:
1
4
or
1
5

Respuesta :

By using the fraction strips , compare the fractions [tex]\frac{1}{4} and \frac{1}{5}[/tex].

we can say that [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex] is the biggest

Given :

Two fractions  [tex]\frac{1}{4} and \frac{1}{5}[/tex]

Lets compare two fractions using fraction strips

Lets make fraction strips that starts at 1

then divide 1 strips into two strips having 1/2  and 1/2

Then we divide it into three strips [tex]\frac{1}{3} , \frac{1}{3} ,\frac{1}{3}[/tex]

Then divide the same into four strips having fractions [tex]\frac{1}{4} ,\frac{1}{4} ,\frac{1}{4} ,\frac{1}{4}[/tex]

Again divide the same strip into 5 strips having fractions [tex]\frac{1}{5} ,\frac{1}{5} ,\frac{1}{5} ,\frac{1}{5} ,\frac{1}{5}[/tex]

The diagram is attached below

From this diagram , we can say that the fraction [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex] is the biggest .
