Question

Name five fractions that are near but not equivalent to 4/12.

Answer 1

All you really have to do is try to find the nearest fractions equal to 4/12

Explanation:

I recommed that you use fraction strips. If you do not have these, you can grab a blank piece of paper, a ruler, and a pencil. Make the spaces ruler length apart. Do it until you get to the top. Cut these pieces and fold them all the way up to 12ths. Label them 1/2 to 1/12 but don't do the 11. This might help you a bit.

Answer 2

4/12

1/12 , 2/12, 3/12, 4/12, 5/12, 6/12, 7/12, 8/12, 9/12, 10/12, 11/12, 12/12

In choosing the five fractions, we can choose fractions that are either to the left or to the right of 4/12.

The five fractions may be:
1/12, 2/12, 3/12, 5/12, & 6/12

or
2/12, 3/12, 5/12, 6/12, & 7/12
