Fraction fiddle: hit the apple

Fraction fiddle: hit the apple

TLF ID L2804

Help an archer to hit an apple with his arrow. Build two fractions to make a total of one whole. Complete the numerators of both fractions (they may have fixed denominators). For example, work out how many quarters and how many eighths can be added together to total one whole. Look at fraction bars and a number line to compare the two fractions and their total.
