Fraction Comparison: Identifying Areas Greater Than 3/5

To solve this problem, we'll analyze each representation:

• Step 1: Identify the divisions and colored sections in each representation.
• Step 2: Convert the colored sections to fractions relative to the total divisions.
• Step 3: Compare each fraction with $\frac{3}{5}$.

Let's apply these steps:

Choice 1: The rectangle is divided into 5 parts with 3 parts colored on the left and 1 part colored on the right, so this represents $\frac{3}{5} + \frac{1}{5} = \frac{4}{5}$. This is greater than $\frac{3}{5}$.

Choice 2: The rectangle shows 1 part colored out of 5 total, $\frac{1}{5}$, which is less than $\frac{3}{5}$.

Choice 3: Similar to Choice 2, it shows 1 part colored out of 5 total, $\frac{1}{5}$, which is also less than $\frac{3}{5}$.

Choice 4: Two sections each representing $\frac{1}{5}$, totaling $\frac{2}{5}$, which is less than $\frac{3}{5}$.

Therefore, the correct choice is Choice 1 where the painted part, $\frac{4}{5}$, is greater than $\frac{3}{5}$.
