Steve ran \(\frac{3}{4}\) mile and Jenna ran \(\frac{4}{4}\) of a mile. Did Steve and Jenna run the same distance?
Math Idea
If two numbers are located at the same point on a number line, then they are equal and represent the same distance from zero.
Locate \(\frac{3}{4}\) and \(\frac{4}{4}\) on a number line.
- Label the number line.
- Draw a point at \(\frac{3}{4}\) and \(\frac{4}{4}\).
Since the distance ________ and _______ are not at the same point, they are not the same distance from zero.
__________, Steve and Jenna did not run the same distance.
Answer:
\(\frac{3}{4}\) and \(\frac{4}{4}\).
Explanation:
The distance \(\frac{3}{4}\) and \(\frac{4}{4}\) is not at the same point, they are not the same distance from zero.

Problem Solving
Question 7.
Harley and Noreen were making kites. Harley has \(\frac{3}{4}\) of a yard of yellow kite string. Noreen has \(\frac{6}{8}\) of a yard of green kite string. She says that she has more kite string than Harley. How can Harley draw a number line to show that Noreen is incorrect? Write a sentence to explain how you solved the problem.
Answer:
No, the statement is incorrect.
Explanation:
They both have the same amount of string. As Harley has \(\frac{3}{4}\) of a yard of yellow string. Noreen has \(\frac{6}{8}\) of a yard of the green kite. Hence they both have the same amount of string.
