Let's solve each problem step by step by analyzing the shaded portions of the shapes and matching them with the correct fraction.
---
1. Circle divided into 8 equal parts
- The circle is divided into
8 equal slices.
-
4 slices are shaded (pink).
- So, the fraction shaded is:
$$
\frac{4}{8}
$$
- Among the choices:
$$
\frac{3}{6},\ \frac{3}{5},\ \frac{4}{8}
$$
-
✔ Correct answer:
$\frac{4}{8}$ — already circled correctly.

2. Rectangle divided into 3 equal vertical parts
- The rectangle is split into
3 equal parts.
-
1 part is shaded (green).
- So, the fraction shaded is:
$$
\frac{1}{3}
$$
- Choices:
$$
\frac{4}{5},\ \frac{1}{3},\ \frac{3}{4}
$$
-
✔ Correct answer:
$\frac{1}{3}$

3. Rectangle divided into 6 equal parts (horizontal)
- The rectangle has
6 equal sections.
-
5 sections are shaded (blue).
- So, the fraction shaded is:
$$
\frac{5}{6}
$$
- Choices:
$$
\frac{5}{6},\ \frac{3}{7},\ \frac{1}{8}
$$
-
✔ Correct answer:
$\frac{5}{6}$
---
4. Square divided into 6 equal smaller squares
- The big square is divided into
6 small squares (2 rows × 3 columns).
-
3 small squares are shaded (orange).
- So, the fraction shaded is:
$$
\frac{3}{6}
$$
- Simplify: $\frac{3}{6} = \frac{1}{2}$, but we choose from given options.
- Choices:
$$
\frac{2}{7},\ \frac{4}{8},\ \frac{3}{6}
$$
-
✔ Correct answer:
$\frac{3}{6}$
---
✔ Final Answers:
1. $\boxed{\frac{4}{8}}$
2. $\boxed{\frac{1}{3}}$
3. $\boxed{\frac{5}{6}}$
4. $\boxed{\frac{3}{6}}$
These are the correct fractions corresponding to the shaded portions in each figure.
