Let's solve each question step by step, identifying the fraction represented by the shaded part of each shape. The key is to determine:
-
Total number of equal parts the shape is divided into (this becomes the
denominator).
-
Number of shaded parts (this becomes the
numerator).

📝 Explanation Summary:
Each shape is divided into
equal parts, so we count:
- How many total parts → denominator.
- How many are shaded → numerator.
This gives the correct fraction representing the shaded portion.
