Question

Find the number of parts that are required to be shaded if the shaded region represents the given fractions for each shape.

Answer 1

We need to count the number of parts in each of the shapes.
And then find a quarter, half and three quarters of those numbers.
In (i) shape there are 4 parts
So Shaded parts = 4 ÷ 4 = 1
In (ii) shape there are 6 parts
So Shaded parts = 6 ÷ 2 = 3
In (i) shape there are 8 parts
So Shaded parts = 8 ÷ 4 = 2
= 2 x 3 = 6
