Let’s solve each question one by one, step by step.
---
Q1: Circle ½ of this set of apples.
First, count how many apples there are.
There are 2 rows × 4 apples =
8 apples total.
We need to circle
half of them.
Half of 8 is:
8 ÷ 2 =
4
✔ So, you should circle
4 apples.
---
Q2: Circle ³⁄₁₀ of this set of balls.
Count the balls.
There are 2 rows × 5 balls =
10 balls total.
We need to circle
3 out of every 10, or just
3 balls (since there are exactly 10).
³⁄₁₀ of 10 = (3 × 10) ÷ 10 =
3
✔ So, you should circle
3 balls.

Q3: How many more cars must be circled so that ⁵⁄ of the set is circled?
First, count all the cars.
There are 2 rows × 4 cars =
8 cars total.
We want
⁵⁄₈ of them circled.
⁵⁄ of 8 = (5 × 8) ÷ 8 =
5 cars should be circled in total.
Right now, look at the image —
2 cars are already circled.
So, how many more do we need?
5 - 2 =
3 more cars
✔ Answer:
3 more cars must be circled.
---
Q4: How many more leaves must be circled so that ³⁄₄ of the set is circled?
Count the leaves.
There are 2 rows × 4 leaves =
8 leaves total.
We want
³⁄₄ of them circled.
³⁄₄ of 8 = (3 × 8) ÷ 4 = 24 ÷ 4 =
6 leaves should be circled in total.
Right now,
2 leaves are already circled.
So, how many more do we need?
6 - 2 =
4 more leaves
✔ Answer:
4 more leaves must be circled.

Final Answer:
Q1: 4 apples
Q2: 3 balls
Q3: 3 more cars
Q4: 4 more leaves
