Sharing Lollies

           We are learning to identify equivalent fractions

Maara and her three friends are going to share a licorice lace. If the lace is 12cm long, what length of the lace will each friend get? What fraction will they get? 1/4 3 cm

2 other friends approach Maara and would like some of the lace too. How can they split the lace (which has already been cut into quarters) between 6 people equally.   2/12

What would happen if yet another two friends wanted a share? 3/24

How many cm of the lace would they recieve? 1.5 cm
