Fraction worksheet for students to practice identifying and shading fractions.

Let's solve this step-by-step. The worksheet has two parts:

---

Part 1: What is the Fraction of the Shaded Area?

We need to determine what fraction of each shape is shaded.

---

#### 1) Rectangle divided into 5 equal parts, 3 shaded
- Total parts = 5
- Shaded parts = 3
- Fraction = 3/5

#### 2) Rectangle divided into 3 equal parts, 1 shaded
- Total parts = 3
- Shaded parts = 1
- Fraction = 1/3

#### 3) Rectangle divided into 5 equal parts, 4 shaded
- Total parts = 5
- Shaded parts = 4
- Fraction = 4/5

#### 4) Circle divided into 6 equal parts, 2 shaded
- Total parts = 6
- Shaded parts = 2
- Fraction = 2/6 = 1/3 (simplified)

#### 5) Circle divided into 8 equal parts, 2 shaded
- Total parts = 8
- Shaded parts = 2
- Fraction = 2/8 = 1/4

#### 6) Octagon (8 sides), divided into 8 equal parts, 1 shaded
- Total parts = 8
- Shaded parts = 1
- Fraction = 1/8

#### 7) Rectangle divided into 5 equal parts, 4 shaded
- Total parts = 5
- Shaded parts = 4
- Fraction = 4/5

#### 8) Octagon divided into 8 equal parts, 3 shaded
- Total parts = 8
- Shaded parts = 3
- Fraction = 3/8

#### 9) Rectangle divided into 7 equal parts, 6 shaded
- Total parts = 7
- Shaded parts = 6
- Fraction = 6/7

#### 10) Pentagon divided into 5 equal parts, 3 shaded
- Total parts = 5
- Shaded parts = 3
- Fraction = 3/5

4) 1/3
5) 1/4
6) 1/8
7) 4/5
8) 3/8
9) 6/7
10) 3/5

Part 2: Shade the Figure with the Indicated Fraction

Now we need to shade the correct number of parts based on the given fraction.

---

#### 11) Circle divided into 4 parts → shade 1/4
- Shade 1 out of 4 sections

#### 12) Octagon (8 parts) → shade 6/8
- Shade 6 out of 8 sections

#### 13) Rectangle divided into 6 parts → shade 1/6
- Shade 1 out of 6 parts

#### 14) Circle divided into 4 parts → shade 3/4
- Shade 3 out of 4 parts

#### 15) Diamond (square rotated) divided into 4 parts → shade 2/4
- Shade 2 out of 4 parts (or 1/2)

#### 16) Circle divided into 6 parts → shade 2/6
- Shade 2 out of 6 parts (simplifies to 1/3)

#### 17) Pentagon divided into 5 parts → shade 2/5
- Shade 2 out of 5 parts

#### 18) Rectangle divided into 8 parts → shade 4/8
- Shade 4 out of 8 parts (same as 1/2)

#### 19) Circle divided into 8 parts → shade 3/8
- Shade 3 out of 8 parts

#### 20) Pentagon divided into 5 parts → shade 1/5
- Shade 1 out of 5 parts

---

✔ Part 2 Instructions:

For each problem, shade the number of parts indicated by the numerator, out of the total number of equal parts (denominator).

> Example: For #11: Circle with 4 parts → shade 1 part.
