The correct answer is 1/2.

  1. Understand the problem: Identify the numbers, units, shapes, or pattern the task is asking you to use.
  2. Show the reasoning: Two fourths is the same amount as one half.
  3. Check the result: Use an estimate, an inverse operation, a drawing, or another representation to confirm the answer.

Two fourths is the same amount as one half.

3. QuestionMultiple choice

Which fraction is greater: 3/8 or 5/8?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: C

The correct answer is 5/8.

  1. Understand the problem: Identify the numbers, units, shapes, or pattern the task is asking you to use.
  2. Show the reasoning: The denominators are the same, and 5 is greater than 3.
  3. Check the result: Use an estimate, an inverse operation, a drawing, or another representation to confirm the answer.

The denominators are the same, and 5 is greater than 3.

4. QuestionMultiple choice

What is 1/6 + 3/6?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: D

The correct answer is 4/6.

  1. Understand the problem: Identify the numbers, units, shapes, or pattern the task is asking you to use.
  2. Show the reasoning: When denominators are equal, add the numerators: 1 + 3 = 4.
  3. Check the result: Use an estimate, an inverse operation, a drawing, or another representation to confirm the answer.

When denominators are equal, add the numerators: 1 + 3 = 4.

5. QuestionMultiple choice

A ribbon is 1 meter long. A piece measuring 25 centimeters is cut off. How many centimeters remain?

Please select an answer first.
