At a dinosaur dig, Emek and Luna were preparing a leg-bone display. They found two pieces from the same kind of bone. The first piece represented 2/4 of a whole bone, while the second represented 3/4. Because both wholes were divided into 4 equal parts, Emek and Luna compared the number of parts in each piece. They saw that 3/4 was larger than 2/4. They chose the 3/4 piece, which filled more of the missing space and helped complete the display.

Challenge 1 of 4
Hint
Both fractions have the same denominator. Compare how many fourths each piece has.
The two bone pieces are 2/4 and 3/4 of the same kind of whole bone. Which piece is larger?
1/42/43/4They are the same sizeCorrect! 3/4 is larger than 2/4.
Try again. When the denominators are the same, compare the numerators.
Next🎉 Congrats! You got this question!
Hint
In 3/4, the top number tells how many equal parts are represented.
The piece Emek and Luna chose represents 3/4 of a whole bone. If the whole bone is divided into 4 equal parts, how many of those parts does the chosen piece represent?
Correct! The chosen piece represents 3 equal parts.
Try again. Look at the top number in 3/4.

Hint
All three fractions have the same denominator, so compare their numerators.
Emek finds another bone piece that represents 1/4 of the same kind of whole bone. Which list orders the three pieces from smallest to largest?
3/4, 2/4, 1/41/4, 2/4, 3/42/4, 1/4, 3/41/4, 3/4, 2/4Correct! 1/4 is smallest, then 2/4, and 3/4 is largest.
Try again. Since all the pieces are measured in fourths, compare 1, 2, and 3 fourths.
