Let's solve this
Fractions Worksheet step by step.
The task is to
write the fraction that represents the shaded portion of each circle. A fraction has two parts:
-
Numerator: The number of shaded parts.
-
Denominator: The total number of equal parts in the circle.
We'll go through each circle one by one.

✔ Final Answers (in order):
| Circle | Fraction |
|--------|----------|
| 1 | $ \frac{1}{6} $ |
| 2 | $ \frac{1}{3} $ |
| 3 | $ \frac{2}{5} $ |
| 4 | $ \frac{3}{8} $ |
| 5 | $ \frac{1}{8} $ |
| 6 | $ \frac{1}{2} $ |
| 7 | $ \frac{3}{6} $ or $ \frac{1}{2} $ |
| 8 | $ \frac{4}{8} $ or $ \frac{1}{2} $ |
| 9 | $ \frac{1}{4} $ |
| 10 | $ \frac{2}{3} $ |
