Answer 1

True

Fraction is a part of the whole.

To find the fraction represented by the shaded portion we follow the steps as follows:

(i) Count the number of equal parts in which the figure is divided.

(ii) the number of parts that are shaded.

(iii) The fraction represented by the shaded portion = $\frac{\text{Number of parts that are shaded}}{\text{Number of equal parts}}$

Total equal parts in figure = 8
and shaded parts in figure = 3

On substituting the values we get,
fraction represented by the shaded portion =$\frac{3}{8}$

Hence, the given statement is true.
