Let’s Review

An area model uses the area of rectangles to help us with fraction problems.

Let’s ReviewFractions can only be compared when they

are based on the same whole.

Again, although this model definitely works to help us solve this problem, it's not the typical area model. You'll want to divide your 3/8 rectangle into fourths vertically. You'll find the equivalent fraction of 12/32. Then do the same for the 1/4 rectangle. Break it into 8ths. You'll find the equivalent fraction of 8/32s. You'll then subtract to get 4/32 which can be simplified to 1/8.
