Answer 1

To determine whether the shaded portions of the diagrams represent equivalent fractions, we need to evaluate the fractions being represented in the diagrams.

1. Identify what each diagram represents.

   • For the top diagram, check if it represents $\frac{2}{5}$ or $\frac{1}{2}$, and compare that with the bottom diagram representation.
   • Similarly, confirm what the bottom diagram represents.

2. Based on this identification, compare the fractions:

   • If both fractions are the same or can be simplified to show they are equal, then they are equivalent fractions.
   • If they are different, then they are not equivalent.

Since I do not have access to the diagrams you mentioned, I can't give an exact recommendation based on their visuals directly. However, typically if it appears that:

• The top diagram shows $\frac{2}{5}$ and the bottom diagram shows $\frac{1}{2}$, the correct statement would be: "The fractions are not equivalent. The top diagram represents $\frac{2}{5}$, and the bottom diagram represents $\frac{1}{2}$."

• If both diagrams show $\frac{1}{2}$, then the statement: "The fractions are equivalent. Both diagrams are equal to $\frac{1}{2}$" would be correct.

• If both diagrams show $\frac{2}{5}$, then the appropriate response would be: "The fractions are equivalent. Both diagrams are equal to $\frac{2}{5}$."

Therefore, please confirm the fractions represented by the diagrams to choose the correct statement.

Answer 2

yes i confirm

Answer 3

Great! Since you confirmed the fractions represented by the diagrams, please let me know what the top and bottom diagrams specifically represent. That way, I can help you choose the exact statement regarding their equivalence accurately.
