Which of the given models shows two-thirds?

 

  • A
  • B

The correct answer is   .


Please Note:

A fraction represents a part of a whole.

For instance:

  • each part of a shape, when divided into two equal parts, is called a half.
  • each part of a shape, when divided into three equal parts, is called a third.
  • each part of a shape, when divided into four equal parts, is called a fourth.
  • each part of a shape, when divided into five equal parts, is called a fifth.

Solution:

We consider all the fraction models one by one in order to identify the fraction showing two-thirds.

  • We consider the first fraction model.

    The given fraction model shows three equal parts.
    The shaded part of the fraction model shows two-thirds.
    Two-thirds means two of three equal parts.
  • Looking at the second fraction model.

    The given fraction model shows three equal parts.
    The shaded part of the fraction model shows a one-third.
    One-third means one of three equal parts.

Therefore, the fraction model  shows two-thirds.
