Praxis 5025 Practice Question
Which of the following statements best explains why 3/4 and 6/8 are equal?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Option D accurately explains that both 3/4 and 6/8 represent the same point on a number line, illustrating their equality as fractions.
Option A is misleading; while the denominators (4 and 8) are multiples of 2, this fact alone does not establish the equality of the fractions.
Option B incorrectly suggests that the physical sizes of pizza and brownie portions determine equality, which is not a mathematical justification.
Option C is incorrect because 4 is not the greatest common factor of the denominators; rather, the greatest common factor of 4 and 8 is 4, but this does not directly explain the equivalence of the fractions.
