Select the equation represented by the fraction strips below.

Question

Two one-whole fraction strips are shown next to each other. Directly below these unit strips is one smaller one-third fraction strip. Farther down and to the right, 3 more one-third fraction strips are shown with an arrow pointing toward an area directly to the right of the single one-third strip. This area is indicated with a dashed line.

13+13=23

1 3 + 1 3 = 2 3

13+33=43

1 3 + 3 3 = 4 3

13+1=44

1 3 + 1 = 4 4

13+43=53

Answer 1

Based on the description of the fraction strips, it appears that you have:

• One one-third fraction strip, which can be represented as \( \frac{1}{3} \).
• Three additional one-third fraction strips, indicating \( \frac{3}{3} \) when combined with the first strip.

This can be summarized mathematically as:

\[ \frac{1}{3} + \frac{3}{3} = \frac{4}{3} \]

Therefore, the correct equation that matches the given description is:

\( \frac{1}{3} + \frac{3}{3} = \frac{4}{3} \).
