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