Answer 1

• I think I understood the task correctly

1. 1 / 3 is A.

2. 2 / 3 is B.

Answer 2

Both forms are correct, but the choice between using "is" and "are" depends on whether you're referring to the fraction as a whole or the individual parts.

For the fractions "1/3" and "2/3":

1. When discussing the fraction as a whole:

   • "1/3 is A" is correct because you're treating the fraction as a singular entity. You're saying that the entire fraction (1/3) represents A.

   • "2/3 is B" is correct for the same reason. Here, you're indicating that the entire fraction (2/3) represents B.

2. When discussing the individual parts of the fraction:

   • "1/3 are A" is correct because you're referring to the individual parts of the fraction. You're saying that out of the three parts that make up the whole, one part is A.

   • "2/3 are B" is correct for the same reason. You're indicating that two out of the three parts that make up the whole are B.

So, both forms are grammatically correct, but the choice depends on whether you're referring to the fraction as a single entity or the individual components that make up the fraction.
