Let’s solve each problem step by step.
---
Problem 1:
We have a set of circles. Let’s count them:
- Red circles: 3
- Yellow circles: 5
- Total circles: 3 + 5 = 8
The question asks for the fraction of
red circles.
So, red circles over total circles →
3/8
✔ Final Answer for #1:
3/8

Problem 2:
Count the circles:
- Red circles: 5 (top row: 2 red, 1 yellow; bottom row: 3 red → total red = 2+3=5)
Wait — let’s look again carefully:
Actually, in problem 2:
Top row: red, red, yellow → that’s 2 red
Bottom row: red, red, red → that’s 3 red
Total red = 2 + 3 =
5
Yellow = 1
Total circles = 6
Fraction of red circles =
5/6
✔ Final Answer for #2:
5/6

Problem 3:
Cars:
Blue cars: let’s count — there are 5 blue cars
Red cars: 3 red cars
Total cars: 5 + 3 = 8
For “red cars”: 3 out of 8 →
3/8
For “blue cars”: 5 out of 8 →
5/8
✔ Final Answers for #3:
Red cars:
3/8
Blue cars:
5/8

Problem 4:
Apples:
Yellow apples: 3
Red apples: 4
Total apples: 7
Yellow apples fraction:
3/7
Red apples fraction:
4/7
✔ Final Answers for #4:
Yellow apples:
3/7
Red apples:
4/7

Problem 5:
Yo-yos:
Purple yo-yos: 3
Red yo-yos: 2
Orange yo-yos: 2
Total yo-yos: 3 + 2 + 2 = 7
Fractions:
Purple:
3/7
Red:
2/7
Orange:
2/7
✔ Final Answers for #5:
Purple:
3/7
Red:
2/7
Orange:
2/7

Problem 6:
“9 out of 10 bananas are yellow.”
That means the fraction is
9/10
✔ Final Answer for #6:
9/10

Final Answer:
1. 3/8
2. 5/6
3. Red cars: 3/8, Blue cars: 5/8
4. Yellow apples: 3/7, Red apples: 4/7
5. Purple: 3/7, Red: 2/7, Orange: 2/7
6. 9/10
