Decompose a fraction or a mixed number into a sum of fractions with the same denominator (denominators limited to 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, and 100), recording the decomposition by an equation. Justify decompositions (e.g., by using a visual fraction model). Example 1: 3/8 = 1/8 + 1/8 + 1/8 OR 3/8 = 1/8 + 2/8 Example 2: 2 1/12 = 1 + 1 + 1/12 = 12/12 + 12/12 + 1/12
