Question

In the above figure, the fraction of the number of circles to the total number of shapes will be

• A. $\frac{1}{4}$
• B. $\frac{1}{6}$
• C. $\frac{2}{6}$
• D. $\frac{1}{2}$

Answer 1

The correct option is C $\frac{2}{6}$

The figure given is:


Count the number of rectangles. There are 4 rectangles.


Count the number of circles. There are 2 circles.



$\text{So, the total number of shapes}=4+2=6$

$\text{∴ Fraction of the number of circles}$
$\text{to the total number of shapes}=\frac{2}{6}$

On representing it on a bar model, we get:
