Question

Patrick climbed 4/5 of the way up the trunk of a tree. Jacob climbed 80/100 of the way up the same tree. To accomplish the same distance as Patrick and Jacob, how far up that tree trunk will Devon have to climb?

Answer 1

Standard Description: Explain why a fraction a/b is equivalent to a fraction (n × a)/(n × b) by using visual fraction models, with attention to how the number and size of the parts differ even though the two fractions themselves are the same size. Use this principle to recognize and generate equivalent fractions. (Grade 4 expectations in this domain are limited to fractions with denominators 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, and 100.)
