Unit Fractions: Equal Parts and the Same Whole

Readiness 1

Look at Strip A and Strip B. Each outside outline is one whole. Which strip is split into equal parts? Explain what you checked. Do not name a fraction yet.

Strip A: whole drawn length 240; consecutive part lengths 60, 60, 60, 60; part 1 shaded. Strip B: whole drawn length 240; consecutive part lengths 40, 80, 120; part 1 shaded. Lengths describe the drawing in a common unit.
