Draw your own model to explain your reasoning.

2. Lucy is using her knowledge of equivalent fractions to put these fraction cards in
ascending order of size. 11 2 5
18 3 9

Lucy knows all the denominators of the fractions are multiples of 3. She decides
to change the fractions so all the denominators are the same so they can be
compared more easily.
Use Lucy’s method to order these fraction cards in ascending order of size.

Question Question Answer


No.
1 a. and b. Complete the models a. 5/8 > 5/12
and complete using > or <. b. 7/10 > ⅗
c. to e. True or false? c. True. Each model should have 6 parts shaded.
d. False. The models should have 7 squares
shaded and 5 squares shaded.
e. True

2 a. 11/18, ⅔, 5/9 a. ⅔ = 12/18, 5/9 = 10/18, 5/9 < 11/18 < ⅔


b. 3/12, 7/24, ⅓ b. 3/12 = 6/24, ⅓ = 8/24, 3/12 < 7/24 < ⅓
c. 5/7, 21/28, 9/14 c. 5/7 = 20/28, 9/14 = 18/28, 9/14 < 5/7 < 21/28
d. 11/20, ⅖, 7/10 d. ⅖ = 8/20, 7/10 = 14/20, ⅖ < 11/20 <7/10

3 a. Use division to simplify these a. 18/30 = ⅗ dividing by 6


fractions so that they have a 12/15 = ⅘ dividing by 3
common denominator. 4/10 = ⅖ dividing by 2
Complete the model to show Order starting with the greatest: 4/10, 18/30, 12/15
each fraction and write them b. 12/21 > 3/7 (12/21 = 4/7)
in order of size starting with c. 16/36 < 5/9 (16/36 = 4/9)
the greatest. d. ⅝ > 18/48 (18/48 = ⅜)
b. 12/21 ____ 3/7
c. 16/36 ____ 5/9
d. ⅝ ____ 18/48
