Question

What fraction of these circles have $X\text{'}s$ in them?

Answer 1

Find out the fraction:

Fractions are numerical values that express a portion of a whole.

From the given figure, It is observed that,

The total number of the circles is $8$

The number of circles in which X is marked is $4$

$$\begin{gathered} \therefore \mathrm{Fraction}=\frac{\mathrm{Number}\mathrm{of}\mathrm{circles}\mathrm{marked}\mathrm{with}\text{'}\mathrm{X}\text{'}}{\mathrm{Total}\mathrm{number}\mathrm{of}\mathrm{circles}} \\ \Rightarrow \mathrm{Fraction}=\frac{4}{8} \\ \Rightarrow \mathrm{Fraction}=\frac{1}{2} \end{gathered}$$

Hence, the circles marked with $X$ are $\frac{1}{2}$parts of all the circles.
