Let's solve each question one by one and determine the correct fraction represented by the colored area in each shape.
---
1. First Shape: Circle
- The circle is divided into
4 equal parts.
-
1 part is shaded (orange).
- So, the fraction is:
$$
\frac{1}{4}
$$
✔ Correct answer: $\frac{1}{4}$
---
2. Second Shape: Hexagon
- The hexagon is divided into
3 equal parts (not 6 — visually it’s split into 3 vertical sections).
-
2 parts are shaded (green).
- So, the fraction is:
$$
\frac{2}{3}
$$
✔ Correct answer: $\frac{2}{3}$
> Note: Even though a regular hexagon has 6 sides, here it's divided into 3 equal rectangular-like regions. Two of them are shaded.
---
3. Third Shape: Triangle
- The triangle is divided into
3 equal smaller triangles.
-
1 part is shaded (yellow).
- So, the fraction is:
$$
\frac{1}{3}
$$
✔ Correct answer: $\frac{1}{3}$
---
4. Fourth Shape: Square Divided into Triangles
- The square is divided into
8 equal triangular parts (each quarter is split diagonally).
- Count the shaded parts:
- Top right quadrant: 2 shaded triangles
- Bottom left quadrant: 2 shaded triangles
- Total shaded = 4 triangles
- So, the fraction is:
$$
\frac{4}{8} = \frac{1}{2}
$$
But the options are:
$$
\frac{4}{8}, \frac{7}{8}, \frac{3}{8}, \frac{5}{8}
$$
So the
correct choice is $\frac{4}{8}$, even though it simplifies to $\frac{1}{2}$, but since $\frac{4}{8}$ is listed, that’s the answer.
✔ Correct answer: $\frac{4}{8}$

5. Fifth Shape: Trapezoid Made of Triangles
- The trapezoid is made up of
3 equal triangles.
-
2 triangles are shaded (blue).
- So, the fraction is:
$$
\frac{2}{3}
$$
✔ Correct answer: $\frac{2}{3}$
---
✔ Final Answers:
| Shape | Correct Fraction |
|------|------------------|
| 1. Circle | $\frac{1}{4}$ |
| 2. Hexagon | $\frac{2}{3}$ |
| 3. Triangle | $\frac{1}{3}$ |
| 4. Square | $\frac{4}{8}$ |
| 5. Trapezoid | $\frac{2}{3}$ |
