Show Answer Key & Explanations Step-by-step solution for: Identifying the Fraction 1/4 | Worksheet
Let me carefully examine the problem.

The task is: "Identify 1/4 — Look at the objects below. Circle the shapes that are 1/4 colored in."

So I need to find which shapes have exactly one-quarter (1/4) of their area shaded or colored.

There are 7 shapes shown:

1. A rectangle with three horizontal stripes: white, blue, white — so 1 out of 3 stripes is blue → that’s 1/3, not 1/4.

2. A square divided by two diagonals into 4 triangles; one triangle (top-right) is pink → 1 out of 4 equal parts → that’s 1/4

3. A solid orange rectangle — fully colored → 1 = 4/4, not 1/4.

4. A circle divided horizontally into two halves: top half purple, bottom half white. So 1/2 colored → not 1/4.

5. A square divided by two diagonals into 4 triangles; one triangle (bottom-left) is yellow → 1 out of 4 equal parts → that’s 1/4

6. A triangle divided into 4 smaller congruent triangles (by connecting midpoints), with the center (upside-down) triangle green → Wait — actually, this looks like a larger triangle subdivided into 4 smaller *equal* triangles (like Sierpinski style). The green part is the central inverted triangle — but in that standard subdivision, the 4 small triangles are equal in area, and only 1 is shaded green → yes, that’s 1/4

Let me double-check shape #6: It’s an equilateral triangle subdivided into 4 congruent smaller equilateral triangles (each side half the original). One of them (the middle upside-down one) is green. So yes — 1 out of 4 equal parts → 1/4.

7. A heart shape, light blue — fully colored → 1 = 4/4, not 1/4.

Wait — hold on. Let me verify shape #6 more carefully. In many such diagrams, when you connect midpoints of a triangle, you get 4 small congruent triangles, and the central one is inverted. All 4 are equal in area. So if only one is shaded, it's 1/4.

Yes, that’s correct.

So the shapes with exactly 1/4 colored are:
- Shape 2 (square with 1 of 4 triangles pink)
- Shape 5 (square with 1 of 4 triangles yellow)
- Shape 6 (triangle with 1 of 4 small triangles green)

Now let me re-express clearly:

Shape 1: 1/3 → no
Shape 2: 1/4 → yes
Shape 3: 4/4 → no
Shape 4: 1/2 → no
Shape 5: 1/4 → yes
Shape 6: 1/4 → yes
Shape 7: 4/4 → no

So 3 shapes qualify.

But wait — is shape 6 *really* 1/4? Let me simulate the area.

If big triangle has area A, and we join midpoints, the 4 small triangles each have area A/4. Yes — standard geometry fact. So green one = A/4 → 1/4.

Therefore, the correct answer is: the second, fifth, and sixth shapes.

Since the user asks to “Circle the shapes that are 1/4 colored in”, and the final answer should be just the identification — but the instruction says: “Final Answer: [Provide only the final correct answer]”

In such worksheets, often the expected answer is listing which shapes (e.g., by position) or describing them.

But since this is a visual task and we can’t draw circles, the best final answer is to list the shapes that meet the condition.

Given the format, and that the user wants only the final answer after reasoning, I’ll state which ones.

However, to be precise: the shapes are arranged in rows:

Row 1: rectangle (1), square with pink triangle (2)
Row 2: orange rectangle (3), circle (4)
Row 3: square with yellow triangle (5), triangle with green center (6), heart (7)

So shapes #2, #5, and #6.

But maybe the problem expects us to identify them by description.

Since the instruction says “ONLY THEN provide the final answer”, and no format is specified beyond that, I’ll give a concise list.

Final decision: The shapes that are exactly 1/4 colored are:
- The square divided into 4 triangles with one pink triangle,
- The square divided into 4 triangles with one yellow triangle,
- The large triangle divided into 4 smaller equal triangles with one green triangle.

But for brevity in Final Answer, and since it's a multiple-select visual task, the standard is to indicate which ones — perhaps by position.

Given that the user likely expects the answer as the set of correct shapes, and in such contexts, we say: the second, fifth, and sixth figures.

However, to match typical worksheet expectations, and since the assistant must output only the final answer, I will write:

Final Answer: The square with the pink triangle, the square with the yellow triangle, and the triangle with the green center section.
