Part A

A pair of fraction models is given.

Image Two circular fraction models. Both the left and right fraction models show a circle divided into 8 parts, with six parts shaded.

Which explanation is a correct reasoning for the sum of the shaded parts?

  1. A.
    Each model shows six eighths shaded, so the sum is twenty-six eighths.
  2. B.
    Each model shows six eighths shaded, so the sum is two and six eighths.
  3. C.
    Each model is divided into 8 parts. There are 12 total parts shaded, so the sum is twelve eighths.
  4. D.
    Each model is divided into 8 parts. There are 12 total parts shaded, so the sum is one and two eighths.

Part B

Each shape is equal in size and is divided into 5 equal parts.

Image Five pentagons, each divided into five equal sections.
  • Explain one possible way to shade the three shapes to represent a total of seven fifths In your explanation, at least one part of each shape must be shaded. Explain why your shading is correct.
  • One shape is removed. Explain how to decompose seven fifths into the sum of two fractions. Give an example in the form ofbox over box plus box over box equals seven fifths, and explain how the two remaining shapes would be shaded.
