Marina's First Growing Post

1/4+7/12 is larger than 1/2+1/6.Because if you cut a clock into 12 and shade in 7 it equals 35 because each peice has 5.1/4 equals 15. 15+35=50.

This site is about a soccer shoot out fraction game. When ever you get the fraction right you get to take a shot on the net. But when you get the fraction wrong the other team wins a goal.



7 )Me and Jasmine did ours wrong because we were multiplying the numbers.But we figured out how to do it right...we have to divided 60 by the the number.

60 divided by 3 should equal 20.

60 divided by 12 equals 5.

60 divided by 6 equals 10.

So you would have to colour every 20th,5th and ,10th number of the way.

The pattern is that for every number it is divided by 60 and then what ever the awnser is, it should be the coloured in.

8) I chose the number 16.

1) 16 divided by 4 equals 4.Thenmultiply 4 by 3 and your awnser is 12. 12 is 3/4 of 16.

-This is my 2nd way of awnsering 3/4 of 16.
The whole square represents 16 as a whole.
8 equals 1/2
4 equals 1/4.
4 x 3=12
12=3/4 of 16

9)My question is 3/4+5/6 and 1/2+8/12 which is greater?I drew a picture to help me!

I think 3/4+5/6 is larger!!!!
