+40 XP on completionA fraction describes a part of something. 1/2 means 1 piece out of 2 equal pieces. 3/4 means 3 pieces out of 4 equal pieces. The bottom number, the denominator, is how many equal pieces total. The top number, the numerator, is how many you have.
Write it: [your answer]/8
Fractions are everywhere in building and design: a 3D model that is 3/4 complete, a render that took 2/3 of the estimated time, code that passes 5/8 of its tests. Solve these builder problems.
Problem 1: You complete 3 out of 5 steps in a Blender tutorial. What fraction is done? Simplify if you can.
Problem 2: A Python program has 12 functions. You have written 9. What fraction remains to write?
Problem 3: Your game level has 16 rooms. Players have discovered 12. What fraction is unexplored?
1/2 and 2/4 and 4/8 are all the same amount — just described differently. Multiply or divide both top and bottom by the same number. Find two fractions equivalent to 2/3. Find two fractions equivalent to 3/4. Show your work.
2/3 = [equivalent fraction] = [equivalent fraction]
3/4 = [equivalent fraction] = [equivalent fraction]
