Question

The symbol that should be used to compare the shaded parts of the fraction models is -

>
<
=
both

hint Hint:

When we compare 2 fraction, we check which one of the 2 is larger and which one is smaller and accordingly, assign the appropriate inequality sign i.e. greater than > or less than < to the 2 fractions.
Fraction = Shaded portion/ total portions

The correct answer is: >

English

GIVEN-
Fraction 1 = Shaded portions / Total portions = 3/4
Fraction 2 = Shaded portions / Total portions = 2/4
TO FIND-
Symbol to represent the relationship between the 2 fractions.
SOLUTION-
From the given information, we observe that-
The denominators of both the fractions are the same i.e. 4.
Hence, we can directly compare the numerators as follows-
3 > 2
∴ 3/4 > 2/4
Hence, the symbol that should be used to compare the shaded parts of the fraction models is '>'.
FINAL ANSWER-
Option 'a' i.e. '>' is the correct answer to the given question.
