Step-by-step solution for: Fractions Math Worksheets - Grade 4th 5th 6th
Let's solve this step by step. The task is to write a fraction in the box for each figure that shows what part is colored, and then convert each fraction into a decimal for the challenge.
---
Each shape (circle or square) is divided into equal parts. We need to:
- Count the total number of equal parts.
- Count how many parts are colored.
- Write the fraction as:
$$
\frac{\text{colored parts}}{\text{total parts}}
$$
Then, convert the fraction to a decimal.

🔍 Step 1: Understand Each Figure
Each shape (circle or square) is divided into equal parts. We need to:
- Count the total number of equal parts.
- Count how many parts are colored.
- Write the fraction as:
$$
\frac{\text{colored parts}}{\text{total parts}}
$$
Then, convert the fraction to a decimal.
