4.NF.B.3.b

Decompose a fraction into a sum of fractions with the same denominator in more than one way, recording each decomposition by an equation. Justify decompositions, e.g., by using drawings or visual fraction models. Examples: 3∕8 = 1∕8 + 1∕8 + 1∕8; 3∕8 = 1∕8 + 2∕8; 2 1∕8 = 1 + 1 + 1∕8 = 8∕8 + 8∕8 + 1∕8.
