Let's solve each of the problems step by step. We are asked to
write the fractions of the shaded parts in numerals and words.
---
1. First Shape: Circle
- The circle is divided into
2 equal parts.
-
1 part is shaded (green).
- So, the fraction is:
Numeral: $ \frac{1}{2} $
Words: one half
---
2. Second Shape: Hexagon
- The hexagon is divided into
6 equal triangles.
-
1 triangle is shaded (yellow).
- So, the fraction is:
Numeral: $ \frac{1}{6} $
Words: one sixth
---
3. Third Shape: Rectangle
- The rectangle is divided into
12 equal small squares (3 rows × 4 columns).
-
2 squares are shaded (purple).
- So, the fraction is:
Numeral: $ \frac{2}{12} $ → Simplify to $ \frac{1}{6} $
Words: one sixth
> Note: $ \frac{2}{12} $ simplifies to $ \frac{1}{6} $. Both are correct, but simplified form is preferred.
---
4. Fourth Shape: Circle
- The circle is divided into
8 equal parts.
-
3 parts are shaded (green).
- So, the fraction is:
Numeral: $ \frac{3}{8} $
Words: three eighths
---
5. Fifth Shape: Octagon
- The octagon is divided into
10 equal parts.
-
3 parts are shaded (yellow).
- So, the fraction is:
Numeral: $ \frac{3}{10} $
Words: three tenths
