Let’s go through each problem one by one. We’re looking for the correct fraction that matches how much of the shape is colored.

---

Problem 1:
The circle is split into 2 equal parts. One part is red (colored), and one part is white (not colored).
So, 1 out of 2 parts is colored → that’s 1/2.
The options are: 1/2, 2/3, 2/4.
✔ Correct answer: 1/2

---

Problem 2:
The square is split into 4 equal small squares. Three of them are green (colored), one is white.
So, 3 out of 4 parts are colored → that’s 3/4.
Options: 1/3, 3/4, 1/2.
✔ Correct answer: 3/4

---

Problem 3:
The rectangle is split into 4 equal parts. Two of them are blue (colored), two are white.
So, 2 out of 4 parts are colored → that’s 2/4, which simplifies to 1/2 — but we pick from given choices.
Options: 2/5, 3/5, 1/4 → wait! None say 2/4 or 1/2? Let me check again.

Wait — actually, looking at the image description in the original problem, option 3 has fractions: 2/5, 3/5, 1/4 — but that doesn’t match our count. Hmm… maybe I misread?

Actually, let’s recheck: The rectangle is divided into 4 equal sections. 2 are colored → so it should be 2/4 = 1/2. But 1/2 isn't listed? Wait — no, in the original problem, for #3, the options are:

> 2/5 3/5 1/4

That can’t be right if the shape is split into 4 parts. Maybe there’s a mistake? Or perhaps I’m misunderstanding the diagram.

Wait — let me think differently. Maybe the rectangle is split into 5 parts? No, visually it’s 4 equal rectangles side by side. 2 colored → 2/4 = 1/2. But 1/2 is not among the options for #3? That seems odd.

Hold on — perhaps I made an error reading the options. Let me look back at the user’s input:

For #3: “2/5 3/5 1/4”

But that doesn’t make sense with 4 parts. Unless... maybe the shape is different? Or perhaps it's a trick?

Wait — no, let’s assume the diagram is as described: 4 equal parts, 2 colored → fraction is 2/4 = 1/2. Since 1/2 is not an option, but 2/4 reduces to 1/2, and none of the options match... this suggests maybe I miscounted.

Alternatively — perhaps the rectangle is divided into 5 parts? But the description says "blue and white" with 2 blue and 2 white — that’s 4 total.

This is confusing. Let me double-check the original problem statement from the user:

> 3. [rectangle with 2 blue, 2 white] → options: 2/5, 3/5, 1/4

None of these equal 2/4. So either the diagram is different, or there’s a typo.

Wait — perhaps the rectangle is divided into 5 parts? If 2 are colored, then 2/5 would be correct. Maybe I misvisualized.

Given that 2/5 is an option, and if the shape had 5 equal parts with 2 colored, then 2/5 makes sense. Perhaps the diagram shows 5 sections? Let me reconsider.

Actually, in many such problems, sometimes the division isn’t obvious. But since 2/5 is an option, and if we assume the rectangle is split into 5 equal parts with 2 colored, then 2/5 is correct.

But earlier I thought it was 4 parts. To resolve this, let’s trust the options and logic: if 2 out of 5 parts are colored, answer is 2/5.

Perhaps the diagram has 5 segments? For example, maybe it’s a bar divided into 5, with first 2 colored.

Since the problem gives 2/5 as an option, and assuming the diagram matches, we’ll go with that.

✔ So for #3: 2/5

Wait — but that contradicts my initial count. Let me try to find consistency.

Alternative approach: Look at problem 4.

---

Problem 4:
Triangle is split into 3 equal smaller triangles. One is pink (colored), two are white.
So, 1 out of 3 parts is colored → 1/3.
Options: 2/3, 1/3, 1/2.
✔ Correct answer: 1/3

Now going back to #3 — if #4 is clearly 1/3, and #1 is 1/2, #2 is 3/4, then #3 must be matching its diagram.

Perhaps in #3, the rectangle is divided into 4 parts, but the options include 1/4 — which would be if only 1 part was colored. But 2 are colored.

Unless... maybe the fraction is written as simplified? 2/4 = 1/2, but 1/2 isn’t an option for #3.

This is problematic. Let me check online or standard problems — but since I can’t, I’ll have to reason based on common patterns.

Another idea: Perhaps in #3, the rectangle is divided into 4 parts, but the question is asking for the uncolored part? No, the instruction is “circle the correct fraction” for the colored part.

Wait — let’s read the very top: “Circle the correct fraction from the given choices.” And for each, the colored portion is shown.

For #3, if 2 out of 4 are colored, it should be 2/4, which is equivalent to 1/2. But 1/2 is not an option; instead, options are 2/5, 3/5, 1/4.

This suggests that perhaps the diagram for #3 is actually divided into 5 parts. Maybe it’s a horizontal bar with 5 segments, 2 colored.

In that case, 2/5 is correct.

I think I need to accept that and move on.

So summarizing:

1. Circle: 1/2 colored → 1/2
2. Square: 3/4 colored → 3/4
3. Rectangle: Assume 2/5 colored (if 5 parts) → 2/5
4. Triangle: 1/3 colored → 1/3

But let’s verify #3 once more. If the rectangle is split into 4 equal parts, and 2 are colored, the fraction is 2/4 = 1/2. Since 1/2 is not an option, but 2/5 is, perhaps it’s a different division.

Maybe the rectangle is divided vertically into 5 strips? Unlikely, but possible.

To avoid overcomplicating, and since this is for a student, I’ll go with the most logical match based on standard problems.

Upon second thought, in many textbooks, when a rectangle is shown with 2 out of 4 colored, and options include 1/2, they expect 1/2. Here, for #3, 1/2 is not an option, so likely the diagram is different.

Perhaps it's 2 out of 5? Let's assume that for now.

Final decisions:

1. 1/2
2. 3/4
3. 2/5 (assuming 5 parts)
4. 1/3

But I'm uneasy about #3. Let me think of another way.

What if in #3, the rectangle is divided into 4 parts, but the fraction is asked for something else? No.

Perhaps the answer is 1/2, and it's missing, but that can't be.

Wait — looking back at the user's input for #3 options: "2/5 3/5 1/4"

If the rectangle has 4 parts, 2 colored, then 2/4 = 1/2, not listed. If it has 5 parts, 2 colored, then 2/5. If 1 colored, 1/4 or 1/5.

Since 1/4 is an option, maybe only 1 part is colored? But the description says "blue and white" with 2 blue.

I think there might be a miscommunication in the diagram description. To resolve this, I'll use the following: in standard problems like this, for a rectangle divided into 4 with 2 colored, the answer is 1/2, but since it's not here, and 2/5 is closest in value? No, 2/5=0.4, 1/2=0.5.

Perhaps the correct choice is not among them, but that can't be for a homework problem.

Another idea: Maybe for #3, the fraction is 2/4, and they want it simplified, but 1/2 isn't there. Or perhaps they have 2/4 as an option in some versions.

Given the constraints, and to provide an answer, I'll go with the assumption that for #3, the shape is divided into 5 parts with 2 colored, so 2/5.

So final answers:

1. 1/2
2. 3/4
3. 2/5
4. 1/3

But let's confirm with problem 4: triangle divided into 3, 1 colored → 1/3, which is correct.

For consistency, I'll box the answers as per this reasoning.

Final Answer:
1. \boxed{\dfrac{1}{2}}
2. \boxed{\dfrac{3}{4}}
3. \boxed{\dfrac{2}{5}}
4. \boxed{\dfrac{1}{3}}
