Final Answer:
The worksheet asks the student to shade a portion of each shape and write the fraction shaded. Since no specific number of parts to shade is given, the task is open-ended — the student can choose any number of parts (from 1 up to the total number of equal parts) to shade, then write that as a fraction.
For example:
- Rectangle divided into 4 equal parts: if 1 part is shaded → “I shaded
1/4 of the shape.”
- Pentagon divided into 5 equal parts: if 3 parts are shaded → “I shaded
3/5 of the shape.”
- Triangle divided into 6 equal parts: if 2 parts are shaded → “I shaded
2/6” (or simplified
1/3) of the shape.
- Square divided into 8 equal parts: if 5 parts are shaded → “I shaded
5/8 of the shape.”
- Rectangle divided into 10 equal parts: if 7 parts are shaded → “I shaded
7/10 of the shape.”
- Circle divided into 12 equal parts: if 4 parts are shaded → “I shaded
4/12” (or simplified
1/3) of the shape.
Since the problem does not specify how many parts to shade, there is no single correct numerical answer — the student fills in based on their own shading choice.
However, if the intention is to demonstrate understanding by shading
one part in each (a common default for such worksheets), then the answers would be:
- 4 equal parts →
1/4
- 5 equal parts →
1/5
- 6 equal parts →
1/6
- 8 equal parts →
1/8
- 10 equal parts →
1/10
- 12 equal parts →
1/12
Given typical classroom practice for introductory fraction work, shading
1 part out of each is the most likely expected response.
Final Answer:
1/4, 1/5, 1/6, 1/8, 1/10, 1/12
