Sharing Lollies
We are learning to identify equivalent fractions
Maara and her three friends are going to share a licorice lace. If the lace is 12cm long, what length of the lace will each friend get? What fraction will they get?
They get 3cm of the lace each
4X3=12
2 other friends approach Maara and would like some of the lace too. How can they split the lace (which has already been cut into quarters) between 6 people equally.
What would happen if yet another two friends wanted a share?
They will have to cut their quarters again.
How many cm of the lace would they recieve?
They will get 2cm of the lace each.
The fraction is 2/12
