let's tackle these fraction problems!

1) Replace * with > or <

To compare fractions, we find a common denominator for each pair.

a) 13□14\frac{1}{3} \square \frac{1}{4}

  1. Find a common denominator, which is 12.

    13=1×43×4=412\frac{1}{3} = \frac{1 \times 4}{3 \times 4} = \frac{4}{12}
    14=1×34×3=312\frac{1}{4} = \frac{1 \times 3}{4 \times 3} = \frac{3}{12}

  2. Compare the new fractions.

    Since 412>312\frac{4}{12} > \frac{3}{12}, then 13>14\boxed{\frac{1}{3} > \frac{1}{4}}.

    b) 15□14\frac{1}{5} \square \frac{1}{4}

  3. Find a common denominator, which is 20.

    15=1×45×4=420\frac{1}{5} = \frac{1 \times 4}{5 \times 4} = \frac{4}{20}
    14=1×54×5=520\frac{1}{4} = \frac{1 \times 5}{4 \times 5} = \frac{5}{20}

  4. Compare the new fractions.

    Since 420<520\frac{4}{20} < \frac{5}{20}, then 15<14\boxed{\frac{1}{5} < \frac{1}{4}}.

    c) 16□110\frac{1}{6} \square \frac{1}{10}

  5. Find a common denominator, which is 30.

    16=1×56×5=530\frac{1}{6} = \frac{1 \times 5}{6 \times 5} = \frac{5}{30}
    110=1×310×3=330\frac{1}{10} = \frac{1 \times 3}{10 \times 3} = \frac{3}{30}

  6. Compare the new fractions.

    Since 530>330\frac{5}{30} > \frac{3}{30}, then 16>110\boxed{\frac{1}{6} > \frac{1}{10}}.

    d) 17□16\frac{1}{7} \square \frac{1}{6}

  7. Find a common denominator, which is 42.

    17=1×67×6=642\frac{1}{7} = \frac{1 \times 6}{7 \times 6} = \frac{6}{42}
    16=1×76×7=742\frac{1}{6} = \frac{1 \times 7}{6 \times 7} = \frac{7}{42}

  8. Compare the new fractions.

    Since 642<742\frac{6}{42} < \frac{7}{42}, then 17<16\boxed{\frac{1}{7} < \frac{1}{6}}.

    2) Order the fraction from biggest to smallest

    To order fractions, we find a common denominator for all fractions in the set.

    a) 14,18,12\frac{1}{4}, \frac{1}{8}, \frac{1}{2}

  9. Find a common denominator, which is 8.

    14=1×24×2=28\frac{1}{4} = \frac{1 \times 2}{4 \times 2} = \frac{2}{8}
    18=18\frac{1}{8} = \frac{1}{8}
    12=1×42×4=48\frac{1}{2} = \frac{1 \times 4}{2 \times 4} = \frac{4}{8}

  10. Order the fractions from biggest to smallest.

    Comparing 48,28,18\frac{4}{8}, \frac{2}{8}, \frac{1}{8}, the order is 12,14,18\boxed{\frac{1}{2}, \frac{1}{4}, \frac{1}{8}}.

    b) 17,13,15\frac{1}{7}, \frac{1}{3}, \frac{1}{5}

  11. Find a common denominator, which is 3×5×7=1053 \times 5 \times 7 = 105.

    17=1×157×15=15105\frac{1}{7} = \frac{1 \times 15}{7 \times 15} = \frac{15}{105}
    13=1×353×35=35105\frac{1}{3} = \frac{1 \times 35}{3 \times 35} = \frac{35}{105}
    15=1×215×21=21105\frac{1}{5} = \frac{1 \times 21}{5 \times 21} = \frac{21}{105}

  12. Order the fractions from biggest to smallest.

    Comparing 35105,21105,15105\frac{35}{105}, \frac{21}{105}, \frac{15}{105}, the order is 13,15,17\boxed{\frac{1}{3}, \frac{1}{5}, \frac{1}{7}}.

    c) 16,14,13\frac{1}{6}, \frac{1}{4}, \frac{1}{3}

  13. Find a common denominator, which is 12.

    16=1×26×2=212\frac{1}{6} = \frac{1 \times 2}{6 \times 2} = \frac{2}{12}
    14=1×34×3=312\frac{1}{4} = \frac{1 \times 3}{4 \times 3} = \frac{3}{12}
    13=1×43×4=412\frac{1}{3} = \frac{1 \times 4}{3 \times 4} = \frac{4}{12}

  14. Order the fractions from biggest to smallest.

    Comparing 412,312,212\frac{4}{12}, \frac{3}{12}, \frac{2}{12}, the order is 13,14,16\boxed{\frac{1}{3}, \frac{1}{4}, \frac{1}{6}}.

    3) Copy and complete to more equivalent fractions.

    To find equivalent fractions, multiply or divide the numerator and denominator by the same non-zero whole number.

    a) 14=□8\frac{1}{4} = \frac{\square}{8}
    To change the denominator from 4 to 8, we multiply by 2. So, multiply the numerator by 2.

    14=1×24×2=28\frac{1}{4} = \frac{1 \times 2}{4 \times 2} = \boxed{\frac{2}{8}}

    b) 36=□2\frac{3}{6} = \frac{\square}{2}
    To change the denominator from 6 to 2, we divide by 3. So, divide the numerator by 3.

    36=3÷36÷3=12\frac{3}{6} = \frac{3 \div 3}{6 \div 3} = \boxed{\frac{1}{2}}

    c) 1 whole = □7\frac{\square}{7}
    A whole can be written as a fraction where the numerator and denominator are the same.

    1 whole=771 \text{ whole} = \boxed{\frac{7}{7}}

    d) 1=□2=□3=□4=□6=□7=□81 = \frac{\square}{2} = \frac{\square}{3} = \frac{\square}{4} = \frac{\square}{6} = \frac{\square}{7} = \frac{\square}{8}
    For 1 whole, the numerator is equal to the denominator.

    1=22=33=44=66=77=881 = \boxed{\frac{2}{2}} = \boxed{\frac{3}{3}} = \boxed{\frac{4}{4}} = \boxed{\frac{6}{6}} = \boxed{\frac{7}{7}} = \boxed{\frac{8}{8}}

    e) 13=□4=□6=□8\frac{1}{3} = \frac{\square}{4} = \frac{\square}{6} = \frac{\square}{8}
    We find equivalent fractions by multiplying the numerator and denominator by the same whole number.
    For 13=□4\frac{1}{3} = \frac{\square}{4}: There is no whole number that multiplies 3 to get 4, so this equivalent fraction cannot be formed with a whole number numerator.
    For 13=□6\frac{1}{3} = \frac{\square}{6}: To change the denominator from 3 to 6, we multiply by 2. So, multiply the numerator by 2.

    13=1×23×2=26\frac{1}{3} = \frac{1 \times 2}{3 \times 2} = \boxed{\frac{2}{6}}

    For 13=□8\frac{1}{3} = \frac{\square}{8}: There is no whole number that multiplies 3 to get 8, so this equivalent fraction cannot be formed with a whole number numerator.
