Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related 4.50 Understand Fractions as Equal Parts of a Whole skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery

The visual model represents one whole: one card row has 20 equal cards with 13 cards colored green. The fraction shown is 13/20. Which option correctly explains the fraction as equal parts of one whole?

ANumerator = 20; denominator = 13; this swaps the total equal parts with the selected parts.

BNumerator = 13; denominator = 20; the fraction means 13 green cards out of 20 cards in one whole.

CNumerator = 7; denominator = 20; this counts 7 non-green cards instead of the selected part or parts.

DNumerator = 13; denominator = 7; this uses the nonselected part count instead of all equal parts in the whole.

Solution & Explanation:In 13/20, the numerator 13 counts the 13 green cards. The denominator 20 counts all 20 cards that make one whole.

Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery

The visual model represents one whole: a number line from 0 to 1 is divided into 17 equal intervals with a star after 16 intervals, very close to 1. The fraction shown is 16/17. Select the answer that matches both the fraction and the visual model.

ANumerator = 17; denominator = 16; this swaps the intervals in the whole with the intervals from 0 to the point.

BNumerator = 16; denominator = 18; this counts tick marks instead of the 17 equal intervals in the whole.

CNumerator = 1; denominator = 17; this counts the interval or intervals from the point to 1 instead of from 0 to the point.

DNumerator = 16; denominator = 17; the fraction means the point is 16 equal intervals from 0 on a whole divided into 17 equal intervals.

Solution & Explanation:In 16/17, the numerator 16 counts how many equal intervals the point is from 0. The denominator 17 counts the equal intervals that make one whole from 0 to 1.

Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery

The visual model represents one whole: one row of cups has 17 equal cups with 15 cups filled to the top. The fraction shown is 15/17. Which explanation correctly describes the fraction without counting the wrong parts?

ANumerator = 15; denominator = 17; the fraction means 15 full cups out of 17 cups in one whole.

BNumerator = 17; denominator = 15; this swaps the total equal parts with the selected parts.

CNumerator = 2; denominator = 17; this counts 2 not-full cups instead of the selected part or parts.

DNumerator = 15; denominator = 2; this uses the nonselected part count instead of all equal parts in the whole.

Solution & Explanation:In 15/17, the numerator 15 counts the 15 full cups. The denominator 17 counts all 17 cups that make one whole.
