Question

Which of the drawings (a) to (d) show: (i) $2\times \left(\frac{1}{5}\right)$ (ii) $2\times \frac{1}{2}$ (iii) $3\times \left(\frac{2}{3}\right)$ (iv) $3\times \frac{1}{4}$

• A.
• B.
• C.
• D.

Answer 1

Answer: (A), (B), (C), (D)

Determine the given figure.

For point i)

$2\times \left(\frac{1}{5}\right)$ indicates the addition of two figures, each of which represents one shaded component of the five equal parts presented.

$\therefore 2\times \left(\frac{1}{5}\right)$ is represented by Option D.

For point ii)

$2\times \frac{1}{2}$ indicates the addition of two figures, each of which represents one shaded component of the two equal parts presented.

$\therefore 2\times \frac{1}{2}$ is represented by Option B.

For point iii)

$3\times \left(\frac{2}{3}\right)$ indicates the addition of three figures, each of which represents two shaded components of the three equal parts presented.

$\therefore 3\times \left(\frac{2}{3}\right)$ is represented by Option A.

For point iv)

$3\times \frac{1}{4}$ indicates the addition of three figures, each of which represents one shaded component of the four equal parts presented.

$\therefore 3\times \frac{1}{4}$ is represented by Option C.

Hence, the above explanation defines the given graph.
