To solve the problem, we need to determine what fraction of each figure is
not colored. Let's analyze each figure step by step.
---
(a)
- The figure is a rectangle divided into 4 equal parts.
- One part is colored blue.
- Therefore, the number of parts that are
not colored is \( 4 - 1 = 3 \).
- The fraction of the figure that is not colored is:
\[
\frac{3}{4}
\]
---
(b)
- The figure is a triangle divided into 2 equal parts.
- One part is colored blue.
- Therefore, the number of parts that are
not colored is \( 2 - 1 = 1 \).
- The fraction of the figure that is not colored is:
\[
\frac{1}{2}
\]
---
(c)
- The figure is a rectangle divided into 10 equal parts.
- 6 parts are colored blue.
- Therefore, the number of parts that are
not colored is \( 10 - 6 = 4 \).
- The fraction of the figure that is not colored is:
\[
\frac{4}{10} = \frac{2}{5} \quad \text{(simplified)}
\]
---
(d)
- The figure is a circle divided into 4 equal parts.
- 1 part is colored blue.
- Therefore, the number of parts that are
not colored is \( 4 - 1 = 3 \).
- The fraction of the figure that is not colored is:
\[
\frac{3}{4}
\]
---
(e)
- The figure is a square divided into 9 equal parts.
- 1 part is colored blue.
- Therefore, the number of parts that are
not colored is \( 9 - 1 = 8 \).
- The fraction of the figure that is not colored is:
\[
\frac{8}{9}
\]
---
(f)
- The figure is a rectangle divided into 6 equal parts.
- 4 parts are colored blue.
- Therefore, the number of parts that are
not colored is \( 6 - 4 = 2 \).
- The fraction of the figure that is not colored is:
\[
\frac{2}{6} = \frac{1}{3} \quad \text{(simplified)}
\]
---
Final Answers
\[
\boxed{\frac{3}{4}, \frac{1}{2}, \frac{2}{5}, \frac{3}{4}, \frac{8}{9}, \frac{1}{3}}
\]
