For the following pairs of fractions, determine which fraction is greater. Explain your reasoning using the author’s definition of fraction without converting to an equivalent fraction or decimal, cross multiplying, or making a math drawing. Assume the fractions are of the same unit amount (whole). On you paper, for each part write both two fractions, circle the greater fraction and explain your reasoning.

Strip X{“version”:”1.1″,”math”:”X”} is 85{“version”:”1.1″,”math”:”85″} of a Strip Y{“version”:”1.1″,”math”:”Y”}. (a) Using the picture of Strip X on the drawing sheet given in the news feed on D2L or using a picture of Strip X above that you draw on your paper, draw Strip Y below Strip X. Clearly label Strips X and Y subdividing both strips so that Strip X is 85{“version”:”1.1″,”math”:”85″} of Strip Y. (b) Using the author’s definition of fractions, explain why you drew the Strip Y the way you did. (c) What fraction of Strip X does it take to make Strip Y?
