Let’s solve each problem step by step. We’re adding two fractions, and the picture shows the total amount shaded. The first fraction is given, and we need to find the second fraction that, when added to the first, gives us the total shown in the picture.
We’ll look at each one:
---
1. Already done for you:
2/6 + 3/6 = 5/6 → Picture shows 5 out of 6 slices shaded (pizza). Correct.
---
2. 3/10 + ?/? = ?
Picture: Circle divided into 10 parts. 7 parts are shaded brown.
So total shaded = 7/10
Given: 3/10
So missing part = 7/10 - 3/10 =
4/10
Answer: 3/10 +
4/10 = 7/10
---
3. 4/8 + ?/? = ?
Picture: Rectangle with 8 squares. 6 are blue. So total = 6/8
Given: 4/8
Missing = 6/8 - 4/8 =
2/8
Answer: 4/8 +
2/8 = 6/8
---
4. 1/5 + ?/? = ?
Picture: Pizza cut into 5 slices. 4 slices shaded. Total = 4/5
Given: 1/5
Missing = 4/5 - 1/5 =
3/5
Answer: 1/5 +
3/5 = 4/5
---
5. 2/7 + ?/? = ?
Picture: Circle with 7 slices. 4 shaded pink. Total = 4/7
Given: 2/7
Missing = 4/7 - 2/7 =
2/7
Answer: 2/7 +
2/7 = 4/7
---
6. 5/9 + ?/? = ?
Picture: Orange circle, 9 slices. 8 shaded. Total = 8/9
Given: 5/9
Missing = 8/9 - 5/9 =
3/9
Answer: 5/9 +
3/9 = 8/9
---
7. 6/10 + ?/? = ?
Picture: Grid of 10 rectangles. 9 shaded pink. Total = 9/10
Given: 6/10
Missing = 9/10 - 6/10 =
3/10
Answer: 6/10 +
3/10 = 9/10
---
8. 3/6 + ?/? = ?
Picture: Pizza with 6 slices. 5 shaded. Total = 5/6
Given: 3/6
Missing = 5/6 - 3/6 =
2/6
Answer: 3/6 +
2/6 = 5/6
---
9. 2/8 + ?/? = ?
Picture: Rectangle with 8 squares. 5 shaded blue. Total = 5/8
Given: 2/8
Missing = 5/8 - 2/8 =
3/8
Answer: 2/8 +
3/8 = 5/8
---
10. 4/9 + ?/? = ?
Picture: Orange circle, 9 slices. 7 shaded. Total = 7/9
Given: 4/9
Missing = 7/9 - 4/9 =
3/9
Answer: 4/9 +
3/9 = 7/9
---
Final Answer:
1. 3/6 (already given)
2. 4/10
3. 2/8
4. 3/5
5. 2/7
6. 3/9
7. 3/10
8. 2/6
9. 3/8
10. 3/9
