It looks like you've uploaded an image of a worksheet titled
"Write the Fraction", which asks students to determine the fraction that represents the
shaded portion of various shapes.
Since I can't view images directly, I’ll explain how to solve this type of problem and guide you through the process based on typical examples found in such worksheets.

🔍 Understanding the Task
Each shape is divided into equal parts, and some parts are shaded. You need to:
1. Count the
total number of equal parts in the shape.
2. Count how many parts are
shaded.
3. Write the fraction as:
\[
\frac{\text{Number of shaded parts}}{\text{Total number of parts}}
\]

✔ Example Walkthrough
Let’s go through a few common types of shapes you might see:
#### 1.
Circle divided into 4 equal parts, 1 shaded
- Total parts = 4
- Shaded parts = 1
- Fraction = \( \frac{1}{4} \)
#### 2.
Rectangle divided into 6 equal parts, 2 shaded
- Total parts = 6
- Shaded parts = 2
- Fraction = \( \frac{2}{6} = \frac{1}{3} \) (simplified)
#### 3.
Triangle divided into 3 equal parts, 2 shaded
- Total parts = 3
- Shaded parts = 2
- Fraction = \( \frac{2}{3} \)
#### 4.
Hexagon divided into 6 equal parts, 3 shaded
- Total parts = 6
- Shaded parts = 3
- Fraction = \( \frac{3}{6} = \frac{1}{2} \)

🧩 Tips for Solving These Problems
- Always check if the shape is
divided equally — unequal divisions mean the fractions aren’t valid.
- Simplify fractions when possible (e.g., \( \frac{4}{8} = \frac{1}{2} \)).
- For complex shapes (like pentagons or irregular polygons), count each small section carefully.

📝 How to Fill Out the Worksheet
For each box:
1. Look at the shape.
2. Count total equal sections → denominator.
3. Count shaded sections → numerator.
4. Write the fraction in the blank below.
Example:
```
[Shape: Circle with 4 parts, 1 shaded]
Answer: 1/4
```

⚠️ Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Confusing shaded vs. unshaded parts.
- Not simplifying fractions (unless instructed not to).
- Miscounting parts due to overlapping or tricky divisions.

If you can describe one or two specific shapes from the worksheet (e.g., “a circle split into 8 parts with 3 shaded”), I can help you write the exact fraction for those!
