While exploring a fossil site, Emek and Luna found a fossil puzzle divided into 8 equal pieces. Dr. Dino explained that 4/8 of the pieces had already been placed in the museum frame, and 2/8 more were waiting nearby. Emek and Luna identified each fraction of the incomplete fossil and fitted the matching pieces together. They decided to display the the incomplete fossil in the museum. Visitors admired their careful teamwork and wonder about the remaining pieces.

Hint
Equivalent fractions have the same ratio between the numerator and denominator, so they represent the same value.
The fossil puzzle had 8 equal pieces. If 4 pieces were placed in the museum frame, what is the equivalent fraction of the fossil was placed?
1/42/43/44/4Correct! 4 placed pieces out of 8 total pieces which is equivalent to 2/4.
Count the pieces carefully. There were 8 pieces in total and 4 were placed.

Hint
Add the number of pieces from the two groups.
The fossil had 8 equal pieces. Emek and Luna placed 4/8 pieces and then added 2/8 more pieces. How many pieces of the fossil were placed altogether?
Correct! 4 pieces plus 2 pieces equals 6 pieces placed.
Add the actual number of pieces placed: 4 and 2.
Next🎉 Congrats! You got this question!
Hint
Keep the same total number of pieces and add the parts placed.
After placing 4/8 of the fossil pieces, Emek and Luna added 2/8 more pieces. Which fraction shows the remaining missing part of the fossil?
1/82/83/104/10Correct! 4/8 + 2/8 means 6 out of 8 pieces were placed and 2 is missing.
Add the numerators while keeping the same total number of pieces.
