Mike drank more than half the juice in his glass. what fraction of the juice could Mike have drunk?
He drank more than half of his drink... So we need to look for fractions greater than 1/2.
First, lets find equivalents of 1/2
\(\frac{1}{2}= \frac{2}{4} = \frac{3}{6}= \frac{4}{8}\)
If all of these fractions are equal to 1/2, then by adding to the numerator of these fractions, we'l have fractions greater than 1/2.
2 +1 3
__= ___
4 4
3/4 is greater than 1/2
Mike could have drunken 3/4 of the juice
4/6>1/2 Mike could have drunken 4/6 of the juice
5/8 is greater then 1/2 Mike could have drank 5/8 of the drink.
Answer=3/4, 4/6, 5/8 and many more possible fractions
