Answer key · Set B
Fair Shares of Fruit and Ribbon
11/4 Cut the orange into 4 equal parts. Each friend takes 1 part, which is 1/4.
2C A fraction is a division. 2 ÷ 3 = 2/3, which is 2 of 3 equal parts.
35/6 5 crackers shared by 6 children is 5 ÷ 6. The crackers go on top, so each child gets 5/6.
4False The number being shared goes on top. 3 ÷ 8 = 3/8, which is less than 1.
53/5 3 meters shared by 5 pieces is 3 ÷ 5 = 3/5 of a meter.
61-B, 2-A, 3-D, 4-C The top number is shared by the bottom number.
76/4 of a ribbon, which is 1 and a half 6 ÷ 4 = 6/4, which is 1 whole and 2/4 more. There are more ribbons than children, so each gets more than 1.
8True 4 ÷ 3 = 4/3, which is 1 whole and 1/3 more.
92 3 children each get 2/3. That is 2 pizzas cut into thirds, because 2 ÷ 3 = 2/3.
102 ÷ 5 The dot is at 2/5, and 2/5 = 2 ÷ 5.
112, 4, 3, 1 They are 1/8, 1/4 (2/8), 1/2 (4/8) and 3/4 (6/8).
