Show all the ways of breaking apart 8/8 write the equations next to each array and draw a line to separate it.
To break apart 8/8, we need to find different pairs of numbers that add up to 8 and represent them as fractions.
Here are several ways to break apart 8/8:
1. 1/8 + 7/8
Equation: 1/8 + 7/8 = 8/8
[__ 1/8 __| __ 7/8 __]
2. 2/8 + 6/8
Equation: 2/8 + 6/8 = 8/8
[___ 2/8 ___ | ___ 6/8 ___]
3. 3/8 + 5/8
Equation: 3/8 + 5/8 = 8/8
[____ 3/8 ____ | ____ 5/8 ____]
4. 4/8 + 4/8
Equation: 4/8 + 4/8 = 8/8
[_____ 4/8 _____ | _____ 4/8 _____]
5. 5/8 + 3/8
Equation: 5/8 + 3/8 = 8/8
[______ 5/8 ______ | ______ 3/8 ______]
6. 6/8 + 2/8
Equation: 6/8 + 2/8 = 8/8
[_______ 6/8 _______ | _______ 2/8 _______]
7. 7/8 + 1/8
Equation: 7/8 + 1/8 = 8/8
[________ 7/8 ________ | ________ 1/8 ________]
8. 8/8 + 0/8 (the whole fraction)
Equation: 8/8 + 0/8 = 8/8
[_________ 8/8 _________ | _________ 0/8 _________]
Each equation represents the addition of two fractions that add up to 8/8. The lines separate the fractions on both sides of the equation.
