fred cuts a 12-inch piece of rope. then he cuts a second piece of rope that is 3/2 longer than the first piece. is the second piece shorter or longer than the first piece?

Is 3/2 more or less than 1?

Is three halves more or less than a whole number?

less

1/2 + 1/2 = 2/2 = 1

3/2 = 1 1/2

Study this fraction strip.
