Question

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

Answer 1

Count the number of circles with and without $X\text{'}s$ to find the fraction

From the given figure we can observe ,

There are $8$ circles in total.

There are $4$ circles in which the $X\text{'}s$ are present.

Hence, the fraction of circles having $X\text{'}s$$=\frac{\mathrm{Number}\mathrm{of}\mathrm{circles}\mathrm{having}X\text{'}s}{\mathrm{Total}\mathrm{number}\mathrm{of}\mathrm{circles}}$

$=\frac{4}{8}$

The fraction of circles having $X\text{'}s$ $=\frac{1}{2}$

Hence, the fraction of circles having $X\text{'}s$ is $\frac{1}{2}$.
