Question

another look!
this is \\(\frac{3}{4}\\) of a string cheese snack. how long is the whole string cheese snack?
\\(\frac{3}{4}\\) is 3 lengths of \\(\frac{1}{4}\\). divide the snack into 3 equal lengths.
four lengths of \\(\frac{1}{4}\\) make \\(\frac{4}{4}\\), or 1 whole. draw one more fourth. the drawing shows the length of the whole string cheese.
\\(1 = \frac{4}{4}\\)
in 1-4, draw a picture of the whole and write a fraction to represent the whole.

1. \\(\frac{1}{3}\\)

\\(1 = \frac{\square}{\square}\\)

1. \\(\frac{1}{6}\\)

\\(1 = \frac{\square}{\square}\\)

1. \\(\frac{2}{4}\\)

\\(1 = \frac{\square}{\square}\\)

1. \\(\frac{3}{8}\\)

\\(1 = \frac{\square}{\square}\\)

Explanation:

Step1: Identify unit fraction for 1.

Given $\frac{1}{3}$, whole needs 3 units.
$1 = \frac{3}{3}$

Step2: Identify unit fraction for 2.

Given $\frac{1}{6}$, whole needs 6 units.
$1 = \frac{6}{6}$

Step3: Identify unit fraction for 3.

Given $\frac{2}{4}$ (unit $\frac{1}{4}$), whole needs 4 units.
$1 = \frac{4}{4}$

Step4: Identify unit fraction for 4.

Given $\frac{3}{8}$, whole needs 8 units.
$1 = \frac{8}{8}$

Answer:

1. Draw a bar divided into 3 equal parts (each labeled $\frac{1}{3}$), $1 = \frac{3}{3}$
2. Draw a triangle divided into 6 equal smaller triangles (each labeled $\frac{1}{6}$), $1 = \frac{6}{6}$
3. Draw a triangle divided into 4 equal smaller triangles (each labeled $\frac{1}{4}$), $1 = \frac{4}{4}$
4. Draw a parallelogram divided into 8 equal smaller sections (each labeled $\frac{1}{8}$), $1 = \frac{8}{8}$
