Question

If each $\frac{1}{4}$th portion of the given circle is divided into two equal portions, what will the equivalent fraction of the shaded portion to the whole circle be?

• A. $\frac{3}{8}$
• B. $\frac{6}{8}$
• C. $\frac{1}{4}$

Answer 1

The correct option is B $\frac{6}{8}$

If each ${\frac{1}{4}}^{th}$ portion of the given circle is divided into two equal portions, the total number of portions will be $8$.

Observing the given figure,

Total number of divisions $=8$
Number of shaded portions $=6$
Fraction of the shaded portion to the whole circle $\frac{6}{8}$.
