At the dinosaur museum, Dr. Dino asked Emek and Luna to prepare fossil-shaped treats for visiting hatchlings. Some treats were divided into 2 equal parts, and others into 4 equal parts. One hungry hatchling received 1/2 of a treat, while another received 3/4 of a treat. Emek and Luna checked that every treat had been divided into equal parts before serving them. The hatchlings happily enjoyed their fair shares, and Dr. Dino thanked the team for their careful work.

Hint
The denominator tells how many equal parts the treat has. The numerator tells how many parts were received.
One fossil-shaped treat was divided into 4 equal parts. A hatchling received 3 parts. What fraction of the treat did the hatchling receive?
1/42/43/44/4Correct! Receiving 3 out of 4 equal parts means the hatchling received 3/4 of the treat.
Count the equal parts carefully. The hatchling received 3 parts out of 4 total parts.

Hint
Think about the total number of parts and subtract the parts eaten.
A treat was divided into 4 equal parts. How many parts are left after a hatchling eats 3/4 of the treat?
Correct! There were 4 parts and 3 were eaten, so 1 part is left.
Start with 4 equal parts and remove the 3 parts the hatchling received.

Hint
Remember what the top and bottom numbers in a fraction tell us.
Emek and Luna prepared treats divided into 2 equal parts and 4 equal parts. Which statement is true?
1/2 means one part out of two equal parts1/2 means one part out of four equal parts3/4 means three parts out of two equal partsFractions do not need equal partsCorrect! 1/2 means one part of a whole divided into two equal parts.
Review the meaning of fractions. The denominator shows the total equal parts.
