You can also find an equivalent fraction with a different denominator and compare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Visual Model Comparison:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Let us suppose you are given visual models (like shapes divided into parts and some parts shaded). You should look for a model where:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The total number of parts is equal or can be compared to 5.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The shaded part represents a smaller proportion than 3 out of 5.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Example:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>If one model shows <strong>2 out of 5 parts shaded<\/strong>, that is the fraction <strong>2\/5<\/strong>. In decimal, 2\/5 = 0.4, which is less than 0.6, so <strong>2\/5 is less than 3\/5<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Other examples of fractions less than 3\/5 include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>1\/5 = 0.2<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>2\/6 = approximately 0.333<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>3\/6 = 0.5<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>4\/10 = 0.4<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Each of these is less than 0.6.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Correct Answer:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Any model that shows a fraction like <strong>2\/5<\/strong>, <strong>1\/2<\/strong>, <strong>3\/8<\/strong>, or any fraction with a value <strong>less than 0.6<\/strong> correctly represents a fraction less than 3\/5.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Final Tip:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Always convert the fraction to a decimal or draw a number line if needed. Visualizing the fraction helps determine its relative size. By comparing the shaded portions to 3\/5, you can identify the correct model.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/learnexams.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/learnexams-banner8-1128.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-238980\"\/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Which model represents a fraction less than 3\/5?
