More Moves on the Fraction Track

Suppose that you are playing the Fraction Track game with the board that goes from 0 to 2. All your markers are on 0. Find different combinations of ways you can move on 2 tracks, 3 tracks, or 4 tracks.

For example, if you draw 7 8 7 eighths , you can move:

On two tracks: 1 2 + 3 8 1 half , plus , 3 eighths

On three tracks: 1 2 + 1 4 + 1 8 1 half , plus , 1 fourth , plus , 1 eighth

On four tracks: 1 3 + 1 6 + 1 4 + 1 8 1 third , plus , 1 sixth , plus , 1 fourth , plus , 1 eighth

Find some different ways you could move if you got these Fraction cards.

• 1 Your Fraction card is 9 6 9 sixths . What are some ways you could move?
