Question

to boil the banana, jack needs 4\frac{1}{2} cups of water. he measures the correct amount of water using a glass that holds \frac{3}{4} cup. which model shows the amount of water the glass can hold in cups?

Explanation:

Step1: Identify target fraction

The glass holds $\frac{3}{4}$ cup.

Step2: Analyze first model

The first bar is divided into 4 equal parts, all shaded, representing $\frac{4}{4}=1$ cup. This does not match $\frac{3}{4}$.

Step3: Analyze second model

The second bar is divided into 4 equal parts, with 3 shaded, representing $\frac{3}{4}$ cup. This matches the glass's capacity.

Answer:

The second model (the lower one with the shorter shaded bar)
