Step-by-step solution for: Free Fraction Worksheet - Write the Fraction | Made By Teachers ...
Let’s go through each circle one by one and figure out what fraction is shaded.
Remember: A fraction has two parts — the top number (numerator) tells how many parts are shaded, and the bottom number (denominator) tells how many equal parts the whole circle is divided into.
---
First row, left circle:
- The circle is split into 4 equal parts.
- 1 part is shaded.
→ Fraction = 1/4
*(This one is already filled in as an example.)*
---
First row, right circle:
- The circle is split into 5 equal parts.
- 1 part is shaded.
→ Fraction = 1/5
---
Second row, left circle:
- Split into 4 equal parts.
- 3 parts are shaded.
→ Fraction = 3/4
---
Second row, right circle:
- Split into 3 equal parts.
- 2 parts are shaded.
→ Fraction = 2/3
---
Third row, left circle:
- Split into 2 equal parts.
- 1 part is shaded.
→ Fraction = 1/2
---
Third row, right circle:
- Split into 3 equal parts.
- 1 part is shaded.
→ Fraction = 1/3
---
Fourth row, left circle:
- Split into 4 equal parts.
- 2 parts are shaded.
→ Fraction = 2/4
*(You can also simplify this to 1/2, but since the worksheet doesn’t ask for simplifying, we’ll leave it as 2/4 unless told otherwise. But let’s check — actually, looking at the pattern, they might expect simplified form? Wait — no, the first example was 1/4, which is already simplified. Let’s look again: 2 out of 4 is same as 1 out of 2. But since the problem says “what is the fraction”, and doesn’t specify simplified, either is correct. However, in most elementary worksheets like this, they accept unsimplified unless asked. BUT — wait, let me double-check the fourth row left: yes, 2 shaded out of 4 total → 2/4. We’ll write 2/4.)*
Actually — hold on! Looking back at the image description (even though I’m not supposed to describe it), the user provided a visual where the last row left circle has 2 shaded quarters — so 2/4. But sometimes teachers want simplest form. Since the instructions don’t say “simplify”, and the example didn’t need simplifying, we’ll go with 2/4. However, let me think — in standard curriculum, even if not asked, they often expect simplest form. Hmm. To be safe, let’s see: 2/4 reduces to 1/2. And 1/2 is simpler. But again — the problem doesn’t specify. Let’s stick with counting: 2 shaded, 4 total → 2/4. I’ll note that both are correct, but for consistency with the format, we’ll use 2/4.
Wait — actually, re-examining: In the second row left, they have 3/4 — which is already simplified. Third row left: 1/2 — simplified. So maybe they do expect simplified? Let’s check fourth row left: 2/4 simplifies to 1/2. But 1/2 is already used above. That’s okay — fractions can repeat. Actually, looking at the circles:
Fourth row left: exactly half is shaded → 1/2 is better. But technically, 2/4 is also correct. Since the worksheet is for beginners, and they’re learning to count parts, perhaps 2/4 is acceptable. But to match common practice, I’ll go with simplified form when possible.
Actually — let’s make a decision: Since the problem says “what is the fraction of the shaded part”, and doesn’t specify, but in math class, we usually reduce fractions. So:
Fourth row left: 2/4 = 1/2
But wait — third row left is also 1/2. Is that okay? Yes, different circles can have same fraction.
Alternatively, maybe the worksheet expects you to write based on how many pieces it’s cut into. For example, if it’s cut into 4, write over 4. Let’s look at the first example: cut into 4, 1 shaded → 1/4. Second row left: cut into 4, 3 shaded → 3/4. Fourth row left: cut into 4, 2 shaded → should be 2/4. So probably, they want denominator to match the number of pieces, even if not simplified.
I think for this level, they want you to count the total pieces and shaded pieces, not simplify. So:
Fourth row left: 2 shaded out of 4 → 2/4
Similarly, fourth row right: let’s do that now.
---
Fourth row, right circle:
- Split into 5 equal parts.
- 2 parts are shaded.
→ Fraction = 2/5
---
Now let’s list all answers in order, going row by row, left to right:
Row 1: 1/4 (given), 1/5
Row 2: 3/4, 2/3
Row 3: 1/2, 1/3
Row 4: 2/4, 2/5
But wait — for row 4 left, if we write 2/4, that’s fine. Some might argue to simplify, but since the worksheet doesn’t instruct to simplify, and the denominators vary (4,5,3, etc.), it’s likely they want the fraction based on the actual division shown.
So final answers per box:
Top left: 1/4 (already done)
Top right: 1/5
Middle left: 3/4
Middle right: 2/3
Bottom middle left: 1/2
Bottom middle right: 1/3
Bottom left: 2/4
Bottom right: 2/5
But let’s confirm the positions:
The grid is 4 rows × 2 columns.
Positions:
(1,1): 1/4 — given
(1,2): ? → 1/5
(2,1): ? → 3/4
(2,2): ? → 2/3
(3,1): ? → 1/2
(3,2): ? → 1/3
(4,1): ? → 2/4
(4,2): ? → 2/5
Yes.
Now, just to be thorough, let’s verify each:
- Circle divided into 5, 1 shaded → 1/5 ✔️
- Circle divided into 4, 3 shaded → 3/4 ✔️
- Circle divided into 3, 2 shaded → 2/3 ✔️
- Circle divided into 2, 1 shaded → 1/2 ✔️
- Circle divided into 3, 1 shaded → 1/3 ✔️
- Circle divided into 4, 2 shaded → 2/4 ✔️
- Circle divided into 5, 2 shaded → 2/5 ✔️
All correct.
Final Answer:
1/5, 3/4, 2/3, 1/2, 1/3, 2/4, 2/5
But we need to present them in the order of the blanks. Since the first one is already filled, the remaining seven blanks are:
First blank (top right): 1/5
Second blank (second row left): 3/4
Third blank (second row right): 2/3
Fourth blank (third row left): 1/2
Fifth blank (third row right): 1/3
Sixth blank (fourth row left): 2/4
Seventh blank (fourth row right): 2/5
So the answers to fill in are:
1/5
3/4
2/3
1/2
1/3
2/4
2/5
But perhaps we should write them as a list corresponding to the empty spaces in reading order.
Since the user will fill the blanks, we provide the values for each blank space from top to bottom, left to right, skipping the first one which is done.
So:
Blank 1 (row1 col2): 1/5
Blank 2 (row2 col1): 3/4
Blank 3 (row2 col2): 2/3
Blank 4 (row3 col1): 1/2
Blank 5 (row3 col2): 1/3
Blank 6 (row4 col1): 2/4
Blank 7 (row4 col2): 2/5
Yes.
Final Answer:
1/5, 3/4, 2/3, 1/2, 1/3, 2/4, 2/5
