1.
\\(\frac{3}{8}\\)
\\(\frac{3}{4}\\)
2
\\(\frac{6}{8}\\)
\\(\frac{4}{8}\\)
3.
\\(\frac{2}{6}\\)
\\(\frac{3}{6}\\)
write the appropriate comparison symbol (<, >, or =) and the correct fractions for the shaded portion in each set of models.
4.
5.

Explanation:

Step1: Compare fractions (Q1)

Convert $\frac{3}{4}$ to eighth: $\frac{3}{4}=\frac{6}{8}$. Compare $\frac{3}{8}<\frac{6}{8}$

Step2: Compare fractions (Q2)

Compare numerators (same denominator): $\frac{6}{8}>\frac{4}{8}$

Step3: Compare fractions (Q3)

Compare numerators (same denominator): $\frac{2}{6}<\frac{3}{6}$

Step4: Identify fractions (Q4)

Left: $\frac{0}{4}=0$, Right: $\frac{4}{4}=1$. Compare $0<1$

Step5: Identify fractions (Q5)

Left: $\frac{4}{6}=\frac{2}{3}$, Right: $\frac{2}{3}$. Compare $\frac{2}{3}=\frac{2}{3}$

Answer:

1. $\frac{3}{8} < \frac{3}{4}$ (less than)
2. $\frac{6}{8} > \frac{4}{8}$ (greater than)
3. $\frac{2}{6} < \frac{3}{6}$ (less than)
4. $\frac{0}{4} < \frac{4}{4}$ (less than)
5. $\frac{4}{6} = \frac{2}{3}$ (equal to)
