How can i draw fraction strips to show that 2/5 is equal to 6/15
Line up a 5-section strip alongside a 15-section strip. Each one of the 5-strip sections will be alongside three of the 15-strip sections.
Two 1/5 strips will line up with six 1/15 strips.
4÷1/3=
12/45
5/6=15/
line up together and shade 2 parts in for 2/5 and for 6/15 shade in 6 parts for 6/15
1/3 is equivalent to 4/12 also 2/5 hope that helped a little
To draw fraction strips, you can follow these steps:
1. Start by drawing a long horizontal line to represent the whole. This line will symbolize one unit or entity. Let's say it represents one whole.
2. Divide the line into equal parts to create the desired denominator. Since we are comparing 2/5 and 6/15, divide the line into 5 equal parts.
3. Mark the length of two parts on the line to represent the numerator of the first fraction, which is 2/5. Shade or label these two parts.
4. Now, draw another line adjacent to the first one, representing the whole, divided into 15 equal parts.
5. Mark the length of six parts on the second line to represent the numerator of the second fraction, which is 6/15. Shade or label these six parts.
6. Compare the two fraction strips side by side. You will notice that both strips have the same length shaded or labeled, indicating that they are equal.
To visually understand that 2/5 is equal to 6/15, you can refer to the fraction strips you have drawn.
