Question

Write the fractions and pair up the equivalent fractions from each row.

Answer 1

a) Here, 1 parts is shaded out of 2 equal parts ( i,e., rectangle) Hence this, Figure represents a fraction $\frac{1}{2}$
b) Here, 4 parts is shaded out of 6 equal parts ( Le., rectangle) Hence this, Figure represents a fraction $\frac{4}{6}=\frac{2}{3}$
c) Here, 3 parts is shaded out of 9 equal parts ( he., rectangle) Hence this, Figure represents a fraction $\frac{3}{9}=\frac{1}{3}$
d) Here, 2 parts is shaded out of 8 equal parts ( Le., rectangle) Hence this, Figure represents a fraction $\frac{2}{8}=\frac{1}{4}$
e) Here,3 parts is shaded out of 4 equal parts ( Le., rectangle) Hence this, Figure represents a fraction $\frac{3}{4}$
i) Here,6 parts are shaded out of 18 equal parts (i.e, triangles) Hence, this figure represents a fraction $\frac{6}{18}=\frac{1}{3}$
ii) Here, 4 parts are shaded out of 8 equal parts (i,e, rectangle) Hence, this figure represents a fraction $\frac{4}{8}=\frac{1}{2}$
iii) Here, 12 parts are shaded out o f 16 equal parts (i.e , squares) Hence, this figure $\frac{12}{16}=\frac{3}{6}$
iv) Here, 8 parts are shaded out of 12 equal parts (i,e . rectangle) Hence, this figure represents a fraction $\frac{8}{12}=\frac{2}{3}$
v) Here,4 parts are shaded out of 16 equal parts (i,e , triangles) Hence, this figure represents a fraction $\frac{4}{16}=\frac{1}{4}$
Now these figures can be, matched correctly as (a)(ii), (b)(iv), (c)(i), (d)(v), (e)(iii).
