    Eliza is right because her fraction is 8/12
    and there are 12 shapes and 8 are yellow

    Platinum

    Tiny is wrong because  4/4 is = to 1 and 5/ 4 and 6/4 and 7/4 are improper because 5,6 and 7 do not divide by 4

    i think Elisa is correct Because there are 8 shapes that are yellow and theres 12 different shapes altogether so the fraction i 8/12
    Platinum
    No i do not personally agree with tiny because he is doing improper fraction not mixed numbers.

    Aliza is right because 8 out of 12 shapes have yellow colour.

    Platinium:

    It is improper fractions but except first one remaining answers needs to be in mixed fractions.

    no tiny is wrong because tiny is counting fraction. so the denominator is 4 so if 4/4 is 1 so 2 will be 4×2=8 is 2 . 8/4 will be 2 and so on .

    Eliza is correct. I noticed that there are 8 shapes shaded in yellow and 12 shapes all together. So the numerator will be 8 and the denominator will be 12. Which makes 8/12!

    Eliza is correct because there is 12 shapes and 12 cannot be divided by 5. Another way to say 8/12 is 4/6 or 2/3.

      PLATINUM
      I don’t agree with tiny because if 4/4 is equal to 1 that must mean 8/4 is equal to two.in this context you have to keep adding 4 to the numerator to get the next whole number.

    Josie is incorrect because 3/5 is a odd number, but Eliza is correct . This is because you can divide 8/12’s by 2. This is because 8/12’s is a even number, so she would do this:
    8/12=4/6, and then she has to simplify it by 2/3.

    I think Eliza is correct I know this because step 1 was to count how much was coloured in yellow secondly count how much all together for the denominator and the fraction was 8/12 so therefore Eliza was correct.

    Eliza is correct as there are 12 circles and triangles together and there are 8 shapes that are coloured in yellow.

    I disagree with Tiny because 5/4 is equal to 1 and 1/4 and 7/4 is equal to 1 and 3/4 and 6/4 is equal to 1 and 2/4.

    Gold:

    Eliza is correct because she counted all the shapes together but Josie only counted two pairs
    of 5 circles which were yellow and 3 triangles which were also yellow all together will equal 5/3
    Eliza is also correct because she added both the yellow and the blue which is 8/12.that is how you know that Eliza is correct .

    4/11 + 5/11=6/11 .
    5/6 + 1/6 = 6/6 or one whole.
    3/8 + 3/8 = 6/8.
    7/10 – 3/10= 4/10 .
    8/12 -3/12=6/12.
    3/4-1/4 =2/4 also it can be 1/2.

    Eliza is correct. I know this because in the diagram it shows 8/12 are coloured in yellow. The numerator would be 8 because 8 are shaded in and the deniminator would be 12 since,there are 12 shapes in total.

    silver:
    1/2= 2/4 because 2×2=4
    1/12 = 2/24 but 12×2=24 so you have to put 2 in the box because it time by 2.
    1/10 =2/20 so if 10×2=20 and you have to 2 in the first box.
    1/8= 2/16 because if 8×2=16 yeah and it from 2 8 time table first box 2.
    1/20= 2/40 Time it by 20.
    1/6= 2/12 because 6×2 is 12.
    1/5=2/10 because it is 2,5 time table.
    1/4=4/16 because it 4 timetable because 4×4=16.
    3/10=2/20
    1/3 4/12 because 4×3=12.
    7/20= 4/40 because you have to time it by 20
