Malik has a red wire that is 4 yards long and a blue wire that is 6 yards long.
He uses
2
4
of the red wire and
3
6
of the blue wire.
Conjecture: Malik uses the same amount of red and blue wire.
Which diagrams could you use to help justify the conjecture? Select all that apply.
A.
A rectangle is divided into two equal parts. One of the parts is shaded.
B.
A rectangle is divided into four equal parts. Two of the parts are shaded.
C.
A rectangle is divided into five equal parts. Two of the parts are shaded.
D.
A rectangle is divided into six equal parts. Three of the parts are shaded.
E.
A rectangle is divided into four equal parts. One of the parts is shaded.
B. A rectangle is divided into four equal parts. Two of the parts are shaded.
D. A rectangle is divided into six equal parts. Three of the parts are shaded.
Both diagrams show equal amounts of red and blue shaded areas, supporting the conjecture that Malik used the same amount of red and blue wire.
