To find the fraction for each shape, we need to count two things:
1.
The denominator (bottom number): This is the total number of equal parts the shape is divided into.
2.
The numerator (top number): This is the number of parts that are shaded (colored in).
Let's solve them one by one:
1) The rectangle is divided into
5 equal vertical strips.
4 of them are shaded.
Fraction:
4/5
2) The octagon is divided into
8 equal triangles.
5 of them are shaded.
Fraction:
5/8
3) The triangle is divided into
3 smaller triangles.
1 of them is shaded.
Fraction:
1/3
4) The circle is divided into
8 equal slices.
2 of them are shaded.
Fraction:
2/8 (Note: This can also be simplified to 1/4, but 2/8 is the direct answer based on counting).
5) The circle is divided into
8 equal slices.
1 of them is shaded.
Fraction:
1/8
6) The rectangle is divided into
8 equal vertical strips.
4 of them are shaded.
Fraction:
4/8 (Note: This simplifies to 1/2).
7) The circle is divided into
8 equal slices.
3 of them are shaded.
Fraction:
3/8
8) The circle is divided into
8 equal slices.
5 of them are shaded.
Fraction:
5/8
9) The rectangle is divided into
5 equal vertical strips.
4 of them are shaded.
Fraction:
4/5
10) The rectangle is divided into
4 equal vertical strips.
2 of them are shaded.
Fraction:
2/4 (Note: This simplifies to 1/2).
Final Answer:
1) 4/5
2) 5/8
3) 1/3
4) 2/8
5) 1/8
6) 4/8
7) 3/8
8) 5/8
9) 4/5
10) 2/4
