The diagram represents of a fifths fraction strip. Sketch the whole strip. Explain your reasoning.
I sketched it, but have no way to show you.
explan the reasoning
come on - that was a joke. I have no idea of what the diagram shows. If you want help, you can't just refer to an unseen diagram.
To sketch the whole strip, we need to understand what a "fifths fraction strip" represents. A fraction strip is a visual representation of fractions using rectangular strips of different lengths. Each strip represents a fraction, with the length of the strip proportional to the value of the fraction it represents.
In this case, a "fifths fraction strip" specifically represents fractions of fifths. This means that each strip will represent a fraction with a denominator of 5.
To sketch the whole strip, we start with a rectangle as the base, which represents the whole or 1. Then, we divide this rectangle into five equal parts horizontally to represent the five fifths.
Here is how you can create the sketch:
1. Start by drawing a horizontal rectangle to represent the whole or 1.
2. Divide the rectangle into five equal parts horizontally by drawing four vertical lines across the rectangle. Each of these lines should be evenly spaced.
3. Label each of the resulting five equal sections with the numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5.
4. Finally, draw arrows or lines from each section to indicate its value as a fraction. For example, the first section can be labeled as "1/5", the second section as "2/5", and so on.
By following these steps, you will have successfully sketched the whole strip representing fifths fractions.
