Fractional comparision between 2 parties are taught in P4 after they become familiar with multiples such as twice, thrice, 4 times and 5 times, etc.
Instead of
Alan has twice as much as Beth
the same sentence could now be expressed as
Beth has 1/2 as much as Alan
With this in problem sums, students must be able to draw model to express the comparison between 2 parties.
Amos has 5/7 as many boxes of toys as Marvin.
Marvin has 35 boxes.
How many lesser boxes does Amos have than Marvin?
