Answer 1

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

Assuming the options provided describe two diagrams, and the comparisons are between specific fractions, the key is to identify whether the fractions given in the choices indicate equivalency.

If we assume:

• Top diagram (T) = 2/3
• Bottom diagram (B) = 1/3

Then clearly, 2/3 and 1/3 are NOT equivalent.

Thus, the correct response would be:

The fractions are not equivalent. The top diagram represents 2 thirds, and the bottom diagram represents 1 third.

Please replace the fractions with the correct values if they differ from the assumption.

Answer 2

Whats closest answer

Answer 3

Based on the options you provided, the closest answer would be:

The fractions are not equivalent. The top diagram represents 2 thirds, and the bottom diagram represents 1 third.

This option clearly states that the fractions represented by the diagrams are not equivalent, which aligns with the understanding of the two different fractions presented.
