Answer:

Explanation:

The fraction represented by the model is 5/8. To compare it with the given fractions, we need to convert them to have the same denominator of 8.

- Start Fraction 11 Over 16 End Fraction = 11/16 = 0.6875

- Start Fraction 13 Over 16 End Fraction = 13/16 = 0.8125

- Start Fraction 2 Over 4 End Fraction = 2/4 = 1/2 = 0.5

To compare these fractions to 5/8, we can see that 0.5 is less than 0.625 (which is 5/8), so Start Fraction 2 Over 4 End Fraction is less than the fraction represented by the model. Therefore, the answer is Start Fraction 2 Over 4 End Fraction.
