Picture This! Fractions and Wholes

3 quantities

3 values If this is worth 1 then 1 3 ? 4 ?

Why? If is worth 1 Then is worth 3 And is worth 4

Let’s change it a little If this is 1 then 1 3 1 3 ? 1 ?

Why? If is worth 1 Then is worth 1 3 And is worth 1 3

Let’s change it again If this is 1 then 1 4 3 4 ? ? 1

Why? If is worth 1 Then is worth 1 4 And is worth 3 4

The whole thing depends on what one whole looks like Everything bigger than one will be a multiple. Everything smaller than one will be a fraction.

If this is worth 1 2 But how about this? then 1 6 1 2 2 3 4 6 ? ?

This is 1 3 of this 1 x 3 = 2 1 3 1 2 1 6 = of

How can we be sure? 1 6 1 2 x 3 = 1 6 3 x 3 = 1 2 =

Here’s another way to look at it 1 2 = If then 1 = 1 6 So must =

What’s the long piece worth? 1 6 4 6 x 4 = 1 6 4 x 4 = 2 3 =
