Let’s solve each problem step by step.
---
Problem 1:
We have a set of circles:
Top row: red, red, red, yellow → 3 red, 1 yellow
Bottom row: yellow, yellow, yellow, yellow → 4 yellow
Total circles = 8
Red circles = 3
So fraction of red circles =
3/8

Problem 2:
Set of circles:
Top row: red, red, yellow → 2 red, 1 yellow
Bottom row: red, red, red → 3 red
Total circles = 6
Red circles = 5
Fraction of red circles =
5/6

Problem 3:
Cars:
Blue cars: let’s count — top row: 3 blue, bottom row: 2 blue → total blue = 5
Red cars: top row: 1 red, bottom row: 2 red → total red = 3
Total cars = 8
So:
- Red cars:
3/8
- Blue cars:
5/8
- “in all” means total = 8, so denominator is 8 for both.

Problem 4:
Apples:
Yellow apples: let’s count — there are 3 yellow apples
Red apples: there are 4 red apples
Total apples = 7
So:
- Yellow apples:
3/7
- Red apples:
4/7

Problem 5:
Yo-yos:
Purple yo-yos: 3
Red yo-yos: 2
Orange yo-yos: 2
Total yo-yos = 7
So:
- Purple:
3/7
- Red:
2/7
- Orange:
2/7

Problem 6:
“9 out of 10 bananas are yellow.”
That directly means the fraction is
9/10

Final Answer:
1. 3/8
2. 5/6
3. red cars: 3/8, blue cars: 5/8
4. yellow apples: 3/7, red apples: 4/7
5. purple: 3/7, red: 2/7, orange: 2/7
6. 9/10
