Let's solve each shape one by one and write the fraction that represents the
shaded area of each shape. The general rule is:
>
Fraction = (Number of shaded parts) / (Total number of equal parts)
---
Row 1
1.
Circle divided into 4 equal parts, 2 shaded (blue):
- Shaded: 2
- Total: 4
- Fraction:
2/4 = 1/2
2.
Star divided into 5 equal points, 1 shaded (yellow):
- Shaded: 1
- Total: 5
- Fraction:
1/5
3.
Rectangle divided into 3 equal horizontal parts, 1 shaded (blue):
- Shaded: 1
- Total: 3
- Fraction:
1/3
4.
Hexagon divided into 4 equal parts, 1 shaded (green):
- Wait — a hexagon has 6 sides, but this is divided into
4 equal parts, not 6.
- Actually, it looks like it's split into
4 sections: two on top, two on bottom? But visually, it’s split into
4 equal regions (like a square-like division), with one green.
- So:
- Shaded: 1
- Total: 4
- Fraction:
1/4

Row 2
5.
Rectangle divided into 10 small squares (2 rows × 5 columns), 1 purple square shaded:
- Shaded: 1
- Total: 10
- Fraction:
1/10
6.
Circle divided into 8 equal slices (like a pizza), 2 green shaded:
- Shaded: 2
- Total: 8
- Fraction:
2/8 = 1/4
7.
Hexagon divided into 2 equal horizontal parts, top part shaded red:
- Shaded: 1
- Total: 2
- Fraction:
1/2
8.
Star divided into 5 equal points, 3 shaded blue:
- Shaded: 3
- Total: 5
- Fraction:
3/5

Row 3
9.
Rectangle divided into 10 vertical strips, 6 orange shaded:
- Shaded: 6
- Total: 10
- Fraction:
6/10 = 3/5
10.
Square divided into 4 equal smaller squares, 1 blue shaded:
- Shaded: 1
- Total: 4
- Fraction:
1/4
11.
Circle divided into 3 equal parts (like thirds), 2 black shaded:
- Shaded: 2
- Total: 3
- Fraction:
2/3
12.
Rectangle divided into 3 equal horizontal parts, 2 shaded orange:
- Shaded: 2
- Total: 3
- Fraction:
2/3
