Shade the part according to the given fraction. 1 5

We know that a fraction is a number representing part of a whole. Here, the numerator represents the number of parts to be shaded. The denominator represents the number of equal parts into which the whole figure has been divided. The given fraction is 1 5 which implies one part is to be shaded out of five equal parts of the figure. Therefore, the given fraction = Number of parts to be shaded Total number of equal parts = 1 5 Total number of parts to be shaded = 1 Hence, the above figure is the required answer.

Shade the part according to the given fraction. 1 4

We know that a fraction is a number representing part of a whole. Here, the numerator represents the number of parts to be shaded. The denominator represents the number of equal parts into which the whole figure has been divided. The given fraction is 1 4 which implies one part is to be shaded out of four equal parts of the figure. Therefore, the given fraction = Number of parts to be shaded Total number of equal parts = 1 4 Total number of parts to be shaded = 1 Hence, the above figure is the required answer.

Shade the part according to the given fraction. 5 9

We know that a fraction is a number representing part of a whole. Here, the numerator represents the number of parts to be shaded. The denominator represents the number of equal parts into which the whole figure has been divided. The given fraction is 5 9 which implies five parts are to be shaded out of nine equal parts of the figure. Therefore, the given fraction = Number of parts to be shaded Total number of equal parts = 5 9 Total number of parts to be shaded = 5 Hence, the above figure is the required answer.

Shade the part according to the given fraction. 7 12

We know that a fraction is a number representing part of a whole. Here, the numerator represents the number of parts to be shaded. The denominator represents the number of equal parts into which the whole figure has been divided. The given fraction is 7 12 which implies seven parts are to be shaded out of twelve equal parts of the figure. Therefore, the given fraction = Number of parts to be shaded Total number of equal parts = 7 12 Total number of parts to be shaded = 7 Hence, the above figure is the required answer.

Shade the part according to the given fraction. 7 18

We know that a fraction is a number representing part of a whole. Here, the numerator represents the number of parts to be shaded. The denominator represents the number of equal parts into which the whole figure has been divided. The given fraction is 7 18 which implies seven parts are to be shaded out of eighteen equal parts of the figure. Therefore, the given fraction = Number of parts to be shaded Total number of equal parts = 7 18 Total number of parts to be shaded = 7 Hence, the above figure is the required answer.

Shade the part according to the given fraction. 1 2

We know that a fraction is a number representing part of a whole. Here, the numerator represents the number of parts to be shaded. The denominator represents the number of equal parts into which the whole figure has been divided. The given fraction is 1 2 which implies one part is to be shaded out of two equal parts of the figure. Therefore, the given fraction = Number of parts to be shaded Total number of equal parts = 1 2 But, in the given figure, there are eight equal parts. Therefore, 8 equal parts represent the denominator 2 . So, the numerator 1 is represented by 8 ÷ 2 = 4 So, the total number of parts to be shaded = 4 Hence, the above figure is the required answer.
