How many fourths are there in two eighths?
My son’s teacher taught him there are two fourths in two eights. To illustrate, she divided the rectangle into eight parts then put a line down the middle of it and said here is one out of four (left) and another one out of four (right). Does this make any sense? Isn’t what she is referring to fourth of a half? Which is essentially an eighth?

Answer :

Answer:

This is not right! There is 1 fourth in 2/8.

Step-by-step explanation:

There is 1 fourth in 2 eighths. This is because 1/4=2/8. 1*2=2 and 4*2=8. So, 1/4 and 2/8 are equivalent fractions. Therefore, there is one fourth in two eighths.
