Question

Choose the correct options for the following figure.
(A) The fraction of colored parts out of the total parts is $\frac{5}{7}$
(B) The fraction of colored parts out of the total parts is $\frac{7}{5}$
(C) 5 shaded parts represent the numerator
(D) 7 equal parts represent the denominator

Answer 1

• A fraction represents a part of a whole.
• The numerator and the denominator are the two most important aspects of a fraction.
• The numerator represents the number of parts we have.
• The denominator represents the total number of parts in the whole

Total number of parts $=7$
Number of colored parts $=5$

$\therefore$ Fraction of colored part out of the total parts $=\frac{\text{Number of colored parts}}{\text{Total number of parts}}$
$=\frac{5}{7}$

For the fraction $\frac{5}{7}:$
Denominator is $7\to \text{Total number of parts in the whole}$

Numerator is $5\to \text{Number of shaded parts}$

Hence, options A, C and D are correct.
