To solve the problem, we need to shade the boxes on the right to match the fractions given on the left. Let's go through each fraction step by step:
1. Fraction: \( \frac{1}{2} \)
- The grid has 4 boxes.
- To represent \( \frac{1}{2} \), we need to shade half of the total boxes.
- Half of 4 is \( \frac{4}{2} = 2 \).
- Therefore, we shade 2 boxes.
Shading: Shade any 2 boxes in the grid.
2. Fraction: \( \frac{3}{6} \)
- The grid has 6 boxes.
- To represent \( \frac{3}{6} \), we need to shade 3 out of the 6 boxes.
- Simplifying \( \frac{3}{6} \) gives \( \frac{1}{2} \), but we still shade 3 boxes as per the fraction given.
- Therefore, we shade 3 boxes.
Shading: Shade any 3 boxes in the grid.
3. Fraction: \( \frac{1}{4} \)
- The grid has 4 boxes.
- To represent \( \frac{1}{4} \), we need to shade one-fourth of the total boxes.
- One-fourth of 4 is \( \frac{4}{4} = 1 \).
- Therefore, we shade 1 box.
Shading: Shade any 1 box in the grid.
4. Fraction: \( \frac{7}{8} \)
- The grid has 8 boxes.
- To represent \( \frac{7}{8} \), we need to shade 7 out of the 8 boxes.
- Therefore, we shade 7 boxes.
Shading: Shade any 7 boxes in the grid.
Final Answer:
- For \( \frac{1}{2} \): Shade 2 boxes.
- For \( \frac{3}{6} \): Shade 3 boxes.
- For \( \frac{1}{4} \): Shade 1 box.
- For \( \frac{7}{8} \): Shade 7 boxes.
\[
\boxed{
\begin{array}{c}
\text{For } \frac{1}{2}: \text{Shade 2 boxes.} \\
\text{For } \frac{3}{6}: \text{Shade 3 boxes.} \\
\text{For } \frac{1}{4}: \text{Shade 1 box.} \\
\text{For } \frac{7}{8}: \text{Shade 7 boxes.}
\end{array}
