Savannah has \(\frac{2}{4}\) yard of ribbon, and Lin has \(\frac{3}{8}\) yard of ribbon. How can you determine whether Savannah and Lin have the same length of ribbon?
The equal sign (=) and not equal to sign (≠) show whether fractions are equivalent.
Tell whether \(\frac{2}{4}\) and \(\frac{3}{8}\) are equivalent. Write = or ≠.
STEP 1 Shade the amount of ribbon Savannah has.
Answer:
STEP 2 Shade the amount of ribbon Lin has.
Think: \(\frac{2}{4}\) yard is not the same amount as \(\frac{3}{8}\) yard.
So, \(\frac{2}{4}\) _______ \(\frac{3}{8}\).
Answer:
\(\frac{2}{4}\) is not equal to \(\frac{3}{8}\)
Explanation:
