Let’s solve each problem one by one.
---
Problem 1:
We have a circle divided into 8 equal parts.
Count how many parts are colored pink: there are
4 pink parts.
So, the fraction is
4 out of 8, which is written as
4/8.
The choices are:
- 3/6 → that’s half, but we have 4 out of 8, not 3 out of 6 (even though they’re equal in value, the question asks for the correct fraction based on the picture — and the picture shows 8 total parts).
- 3/5 → wrong denominator, doesn’t match the 8 parts.
- 4/8 → matches exactly: 4 shaded out of 8 total.
✔ So,
4/8 is correct.

Problem 2:
We have a rectangle divided into
3 equal vertical parts.
Only
1 part is colored green.
So, the fraction is
1 out of 3, or
1/3.
Choices:
- 4/5 → too big, and wrong number of parts.
- 1/3 → perfect match.
- 3/4 → again, wrong total parts.
✔ So,
1/3 is correct.

Problem 3:
We have a bar divided into
6 equal parts.
5 parts are colored blue.
So, the fraction is
5 out of 6, or
5/6.
Choices:
- 5/6 → yes! Matches perfectly.
- 3/7 → wrong numbers.
- 1/8 → way off.
✔ So,
5/6 is correct.

Problem 4:
We have a square divided into
6 smaller squares (2 rows × 3 columns = 6 total).
Count the orange ones: top-left, top-right, bottom-middle → that’s
3 orange squares.
So, the fraction is
3 out of 6, or
3/6.
Choices:
- 2/7 → wrong total and count.
- 4/8 → even if it equals 1/2, the picture has 6 parts, not 8.
- 3/6 → matches exactly: 3 shaded out of 6 total.
✔ So,
3/6 is correct.

Final Answer:
1. 4/8
2. 1/3
3. 5/6
4. 3/6
