How is seeing the parts of a partitioned number line the same as seeing the parts of a partitioned rectangle? How is it different?

Sagot :

Partitioning a number line:

If you have a number line, you can partition into fractions. This is done by dividing the number lines into equal portions and summing up the portions to give the total part that you need.

For example, to partition a number line into 3/4 portion of a number line, you can partition the number line into 4 portions of 1/4 each and take 3 portions out of the four to get 3/4.

The same strategy is used for a rectangle:

To divide a rectangle into two portions of 3/4 and 1/4, you can use similar method as above:

Difference:

The difference is that in a number line, you only have the length and you can partition only across the length

In a rectangle you can partition both the length and the width of the shape
