Question

Draw a diagram of 3/4 and use it for the following questions.

a) Where do you see 3/4 of something in the diagram?

b) Where do you see 4/3 of something in the diagram?

c) How can you see 1/3 of 3/4 in the diagram?

d) How can you see 1 divide 3/4 in the diagram?

Answer 1

Given fraction,

`(3)/(4)`

a) For making the diagram of the above fraction,

Take a tile with four boxes in which each box represents the 1/4 part of tile,

Shade 3 boxes,

It will represent
`(3)/(4)` of the tile.

b) Now, split the tile into two parts each represents 1,

Then divide second part into three box,

Each box represents the 1/3 part of the box,

Shade first part and 1/3 part of second part.

That is, 1 + 1/3 = 4/3,

c) Divide 3/4 part ( by option (a) ) into 3 equal parts,

Each part is of 1/3 of 3/4,

That is, 1/4 of the total tile,

d) take a tile, divide it into 4 parts,

And, a 3/4 part tile,

We will get,

`(1)/(4)/ (3)/(4)=(1)/(3)`
