Question

Write three different fractions that match the shaded part of the drawing.

Answer 1

8/12 4/8 4/12 is the answer for the shaded part

Answer 2

`(16)/(24),(24)/(36),(32)/(48)`

Explanation:

Fraction represents equal parts of whole . A fraction is of form
`(a)/(b)` where a is numerator and b is denominator .

In given figure , total number of parts = 12

Number of shaded parts = 8

We get fraction as ( Number of shaded parts ) / ( total number of parts ) :

`(8)/(12)`

We need to find three fractions that match the shaded part of the drawing i.e we need to find the equivalent fractions .

Fractions whose lowest form are same are known as equivalent fractions.

`(8* 2)/(12* 2)=(16)/(24)\\\\(8* 3)/(12* 3)=(24)/(36)\\\\(8* 4)/(12* 4)=(32)/(48)`
