Each strip of the diagram is shaded to represent a fraction of 1 whole.
Strip A has 3 out of 5 parts shaded. Strip B has 6 out of 10 parts shaded.
The fractions represented are —
equivalent, because 35 and 610 represent the same shaded amount
not equivalent, because Strip B has more shaded parts
not equivalent, because 35 is greater than 610
