Explanation:
We are asked to circle the given fraction of each group. That means for each row, we need to count how many items are in the group, then find what the fraction tells us to select, and circle that many items.
Let’s go row by row:
1) Fraction: $ \frac{2}{5} $
Group: 10 bells (count them — yes, there are 10).
$ \frac{2}{5} $ of 10 = $ \frac{2 \times 10}{5} = \frac{20}{5} = 4 $.
So circle
4 bells.
2) Fraction: $ \frac{3}{4} $
Group: 12 books (2 rows × 6 = 12).
$ \frac{3}{4} $ of 12 = $ \frac{3 \times 12}{4} = \frac{36}{4} = 9 $.
So circle
9 books.
3) Fraction: $ \frac{5}{6} $
Group: 12 scissors (2 rows × 6 = 12).
$ \frac{5}{6} $ of 12 = $ \frac{5 \times 12}{6} = \frac{60}{6} = 10 $.
So circle
10 scissors.
4) Fraction: $ \frac{3}{7} $
Group: 14 calculators (2 rows × 7 = 14).
$ \frac{3}{7} $ of 14 = $ \frac{3 \times 14}{7} = \frac{42}{7} = 6 $.
So circle
6 calculators.
5) Fraction: $ \frac{4}{5} $
Group: 10 rulers (2 rows × 5 = 10).
$ \frac{4}{5} $ of 10 = $ \frac{4 \times 10}{5} = \frac{40}{5} = 8 $.
So circle
8 rulers.
6) Fraction: $ \frac{1}{6} $
Group: 12 lines (2 rows × 6 = 12).
$ \frac{1}{6} $ of 12 = $ \frac{1 \times 12}{6} = \frac{12}{6} = 2 $.
So circle
2 lines.
Double-check each:
- 2/5 of 10 = 4
✔
- 3/4 of 12 = 9
✔
- 5/6 of 12 = 10
✔
- 3/7 of 14 = 6
✔
- 4/5 of 10 = 8
✔
- 1/6 of 12 = 2
✔
All correct.
Final Answer:
Circle 4 bells, 9 books, 10 scissors, 6 calculators, 8 rulers, and 2 lines.
