1. Write the fraction representing the shaded portion.
Solutions:
(i) Number of parts = 4
Shaded portion = 2
∴ Fraction =
(ii) Number of parts = 9
Shaded portion = 8
∴ Fraction =
(iii) Number of parts = 8
Shaded portion = 4
∴ Fraction =
(iv) Number of parts = 4
Shaded portion = 1
∴ Fraction =
(v) Number of parts = 7
Shaded portion = 3
∴ Fraction =
(vi) Number of parts = 12
Shaded portion = 3
∴ Fraction =
(vii) Number of parts = 10
Shaded portion = 10
∴ Fraction =
(viii) Number of parts = 9
Shaded portion = 4
∴ Fraction =
(ix) Number of parts = 8
Shaded portion = 4
∴ Fraction =
(x) Number of parts = 2
Shaded portion = 1
∴ Fraction =
2. Colour the part according to the given fraction.
