Fraction Rings

Use the fraction pieces and  all 3 rings to fill in the page. Put each piece in each ring and record in how many minutes, the decimal and the degrees each fraction equals:
¼  = _____ minutes = 0._____ = _____˚
½  = _____ minutes = 0._____ = _____˚
1/3 = _____minutes = 0._____ = _____˚
1/6 = _____minutes = 0._____ = _____˚
1/8 = _____minutes = 0._____ = _____˚
2/3 = _____minutes = 0._____ = _____˚

Now you make up 6 more:
____  = _____ minutes = o._____ = ______˚
____  = _____ minutes = 0._____ = ______˚
____  = _____minutes = 0._____ = ______˚
____  = _____minutes = 0._____ = ______˚
____  = _____minutes = 0._____ = ______˚
____  = _____minutes = 0._____ = ______˚

Now lets add fractions:
½ +2/6 = _____ minutes = 0._____ = _____˚
½ + 1/3 = _____ minutes = 0._____ = _____˚
¼ + 1/3 = _____minutes = 0._____ = _____˚
2/8 + ¼ + ½ = _____ minutes = 0._____ = _____˚
1/3 + 1/3 + 1/6 = ______minutes = 0.______ = ______˚

Now you make 5 more:
_____ + _____ + ______ = ______minutes = 0._____ = ____˚
_____ + _____ + ______ = ______minutes = 0.––––– = ––––˚
_____ + _____ + ______ = ______minutes = 0.––––– = ––––˚
_____ + _____ + ______ = ______minutes = 0.––––– = ––––˚
_____ + _____ + ______ = ______minutes = 0.––––– = ––––˚
