Let’s go row by row and fill in the missing fractions. We’ll use the pie chart to find the first fraction, then simplify or expand it to get the equivalent fraction.
---
Row 1 (already done):
Pie: half shaded → 1/2
Equivalent: 3/6 → same as 1/2 ✔️
---
Row 2:
Pie: 1 out of 3 parts shaded →
1/3
We need an equivalent fraction with denominator 12.
Multiply numerator and denominator by 4:
1 × 4 = 4
3 × 4 = 12
→ So,
4/12
✔ Answer for Row 2: Fraction =
1/3, Equivalent =
4/12
---
Row 3:
Pie: 3 out of 4 parts shaded →
3/4
We need equivalent with denominator 12.
Multiply numerator and denominator by 3:
3 × 3 = 9
4 × 3 = 12
→ So,
9/12
✔ Answer for Row 3: Fraction =
3/4, Equivalent =
9/12
---
Row 4:
Pie: 2 out of 8 parts shaded →
2/8
Simplify: divide numerator and denominator by 2 → 1/4
So, equivalent is
1/4
✔ Answer for Row 4: Fraction =
2/8, Equivalent =
1/4
---
Row 5:
Pie: 3 out of 5 parts shaded →
3/5
We need equivalent with denominator 15.
Multiply numerator and denominator by 3:
3 × 3 = 9
5 × 3 = 15
→ So,
9/15
✔ Answer for Row 5: Fraction =
3/5, Equivalent =
9/15
---
Row 6:
Pie: 3 out of 6 parts shaded →
3/6
Simplify: divide numerator and denominator by 3 → 1/2
So, equivalent is
1/2
✔ Answer for Row 6: Fraction =
3/6, Equivalent =
1/2
---
Final Answer:
Row 2: 1/3 and 4/12
Row 3: 3/4 and 9/12
Row 4: 2/8 and 1/4
Row 5: 3/5 and 9/15
Row 6: 3/6 and 1/2
