Let’s solve each problem step by step. We’re matching fractions to shapes that are divided into equal parts, and we need to shade the correct number of those parts.
---
Problem 1: Fraction = 2/3
- The shape is a triangle divided into
3 equal smaller triangles.
- We need to shade
2 out of 3 parts.
→ Shade any 2 of the 3 small triangles.
---
Problem 2: Fraction = 5/8
- The shape is a circle divided into
8 equal slices (like a pizza).
- We need to shade
5 out of 8 slices.
→ Shade any 5 of the 8 slices.
---
Problem 3: Fraction = 4/9
- The shape is made of
9 small triangles arranged in a row (3 groups of 3).
- We need to shade
4 out of 9 parts.
→ Shade any 4 of the 9 small triangles.
---
Problem 4: Fraction = 7/12
- The shape is a rectangle divided into
12 equal squares (3 rows × 4 columns).
- We need to shade
7 out of 12 squares.
→ Shade any 7 of the 12 squares.
---
Problem 5: Fraction = 1/2
- The shape is a heart divided into
2 equal halves (left and right).
- We need to shade
1 out of 2 parts.
→ Shade either the left half or the right half.
---
Problem 6: Fraction = 3/8
- The shape is a circle divided into
8 equal slices.
- We need to shade
3 out of 8 slices.
→ Shade any 3 of the 8 slices.
---
Problem 7: Fraction = 5/8
- The shape is an octagon (8-sided figure) divided into
8 equal triangles from the center.
- We need to shade
5 out of 8 parts.
→ Shade any 5 of the 8 triangular sections.
---
Problem 8: Fraction = 3/4
- The shape is a semicircle divided into
4 equal curved sections (like 4 wedges).
- We need to shade
3 out of 4 parts.
→ Shade any 3 of the 4 sections.
---
Final Answer:
For each model:
1. Shade 2 out of 3 triangles in the big triangle.
2. Shade 5 out of 8 slices in the circle.
3. Shade 4 out of 9 small triangles in the row.
4. Shade 7 out of 12 squares in the grid.
5. Shade 1 out of 2 halves in the heart.
6. Shade 3 out of 8 slices in the circle.
7. Shade 5 out of 8 triangles in the octagon.
8. Shade 3 out of 4 sections in the semicircle.
