Let's solve each problem step by step to identify the fraction that represents the shaded part of each shape.
---
Problem 1: Circle
Shape: A circle divided into 3 equal parts.
- Two of the three parts are shaded (orange).
- One part is unshaded (white).
Step-by-step:
-
Shaded parts: 2
-
Total number of equal parts: 3
-
Fraction: $ \frac{2}{3} $
✔ Answer:
- Shaded parts:
2
- Total number of equal parts:
3
- Fraction: $ \frac{2}{3} $

Problem 2: Rectangle
Shape: A rectangle divided into 4 equal horizontal strips.
- The top 3 strips are shaded (orange).
- The bottom strip is unshaded (white).
Step-by-step:
-
Shaded parts: 3
-
Total number of equal parts: 4
-
Fraction: $ \frac{3}{4} $
✔ Answer:
- Shaded parts:
3
- Total number of equal parts:
4
- Fraction: $ \frac{3}{4} $

Problem 3: Triangle
Shape: A large triangle divided into 4 smaller, equal-sized triangles.
- Two of the small triangles are shaded (orange).
- Two are unshaded (white).
Step-by-step:
-
Shaded parts: 2
-
Total number of equal parts: 4
-
Fraction: $ \frac{2}{4} $, which can be simplified to $ \frac{1}{2} $, but since the question asks for the fraction based on the given parts, we use $ \frac{2}{4} $ unless simplification is requested.
However, in basic fraction identification (especially at early levels), they usually expect the fraction based directly on the parts shown, so:
✔ Answer:
- Shaded parts:
2
- Total number of equal parts:
4
- Fraction: $ \frac{2}{4} $
> Note: $ \frac{2}{4} = \frac{1}{2} $, but unless asked to simplify, $ \frac{2}{4} $ is acceptable here.
