A good test item. The diagram shows that the red bar is 2 units and the yellow bar is 5 units. 1 unit = 1/6 5 units = 5/6 So the yellow bar represents 5/6.

1/3=2/(?) 1/3=2/6 That is, 2 units of 1/6. The yellow bar is 5 units of 1/6. That is, 5/6.

For the red rod- {1/3}red rod×3=6 White parts 1. red rod = 6 white parts 1/6 red part= 1 white part 5/6 red part= 5 white part 5/6 red part = yellow rod

. Fraction is p3. If u replace the bars with a round pie..a p3 student should know how to cut 1/3,2/3 ,1/4etc.. but now is testing the skill of comparing fractions to portion of a bar. So an average p3 student should be able to do provided he understand what the question wants. But if it deals with mixed fractions or improper fractions, p4 and above then.

Likely to be p3 under equivalent fractions, comparing fractions.

Need help in this question. There were 221 boys and 182 girls in the field. Miss Tan wanted to group them equally so that there were 3 more boys than girls in each group. (a) How many groups did Miss Tan get?(b) How many children were there in each group?

221 = 13 x17 182 = 13 x 14 13 is a common factor of 221 and 182. There are 17 boys and 14 girls in one group. There are 13 groups and there are 3 more boys than girls in one group. (a) Miss Tan has 13 groups. (b) There are 17 + 14 = 31 children altogether in a group. :)
