On Target: Equal Fractions at Archery Club

Look for equal shaded areas and matching points.

Target Design Check

The archery club is choosing target designs. All circles in this section are the same size. Each circle is one whole.

1.
Amira shades 2/3 of one target design. Luis shades 4/6 of another. Which statement matches the pictures?

  • A. The fractions are not equal because 4 shaded parts must cover more than 2.
  • B. The fractions are not equal because thirds must cover more than sixths.
  • C. The fractions are equal because the shaded areas are the same size.
  • D. The fractions are equal only if both circles have the same number of parts.
2.
Read both target designs. Complete the fraction for the bottom design.



The bottom design has  /4 shaded. Is its shaded area the same size as 6/8 of the top design? Write yes or no:  

3.
The sample target has 1/2 shaded. Circle every design below with the same size shaded area.

3/6 2/8 4/8 2/3 2/4
