Question

Which statement describes whether the shaded portions of the diagrams represent equivalent fractions?(1 point)ResponsesThe fractions are equivalent. Both diagrams are equal to 13.The fractions are equivalent. Both diagrams are equal to 1 third.The fractions are not equivalent. The top diagram represents 13, and the bottom diagram represents 23.The fractions are not equivalent. The top diagram represents 1 third, and the bottom diagram represents 2 thirds.The fractions are not equivalent. The top diagram represents 23, and the bottom diagram represents 13.The fractions are not equivalent. The top diagram represents 2 thirds, and the bottom diagram represents 1 third.The fractions are equivalent. Both diagrams are equal to 23.

Answer 1

To determine whether the shaded portions of the diagrams represent equivalent fractions, we need to compare the fractions represented by each diagram.

If the top diagram represents \( \frac{2}{3} \) and the bottom diagram represents \( \frac{1}{3} \), then the statement would be:

**"The fractions are not equivalent. The top diagram represents \( \frac{2}{3} \), and the bottom diagram represents \( \frac{1}{3} \)."**

If instead, they both represented \( \frac{2}{3} \), it would indicate that they are equivalent:

**"The fractions are equivalent. Both diagrams are equal to \( \frac{2}{3} \)."**

You would need to confirm the precise fractions from the diagrams to select the correct statement. If you can clarify the representation of the shaded areas in each diagram, I can help you choose the right option.
