This is a worksheet for practicing fractions. The task is to shade the shapes to match the given fractions.
Here's how to solve each problem:
The key concept is that a fraction `a/b` means you divide a whole into `b` equal parts and take `a` of those parts.
Let's go through each one:
1.
1/3: The shape is a rectangle divided into 3 equal parts. Shade 1 part.
2.
3/8: The shape is a circle divided into 8 equal parts (like a pie). Shade 3 parts.
3.
5/6: The shape is a rectangle divided into 6 equal parts. Shade 5 parts.
4.
4/8: The shape is a rectangle divided into 8 equal parts. Shade 4 parts. (Note: 4/8 is equivalent to 1/2, so you could also think of it as shading half).
5.
6/8: The shape is a circle divided into 8 equal parts. Shade 6 parts. (Note: 6/8 is equivalent to 3/4).
6.
1/4: The shape is a square divided into 4 equal triangles. Shade 1 triangle.
7.
3/4: The shape is a rectangle divided into 4 equal parts. Shade 3 parts.
8.
5/8: The shape is a circle divided into 8 equal parts. Shade 5 parts.
9.
2/8: The shape is a rectangle divided into 8 equal parts. Shade 2 parts. (Note: 2/8 is equivalent to 1/4).
10.
2/4: The shape is a circle divided into 4 equal parts. Shade 2 parts. (Note: 2/4 is equivalent to 1/2).
11.
3/4: The shape is a square divided into 4 equal triangles. Shade 3 triangles.
12.
4/7: The shape is a rectangle divided into 7 equal parts. Shade 4 parts.
By following this method for each problem, you will correctly shade the shapes to represent the given fractions.
