Tim had 4 paper fraction pieces, each of thirds, fourths, sixths, and twelfths. He did not have enough pieces to show both 2/4 and 1/3 as equivalent fractions with the same denominator. How could he form enough pieces by making 1 cut with a scissors

Sagot :

I think that poor boy Tim has enough pieces(1/3, 1/4, 1/6, 1/12) and does not need to cut anything.

1/3 + 1/6=4/12 + 2/12=6/12=2/4

1/4 + 1/12=3/12 + 1/12= 4/12= 1/3
or 1/4
