The number of parts in the circle represents the denominator of the fraction, and the number of colored parts represents the numerator.

The circle is divided into 12 parts, 6 parts are colored.

$\frac{6}{12}=\frac{1}{2}$

The number of parts in the circle represents the denominator of the fraction, and the number of colored parts represents the numerator.

The circle is divided into 3 parts, 1 part is colored.

Hence:

$\frac{1}{3}$

The number of parts in the circle represents the denominator of the fraction, and the number of colored parts represents the numerator.

The circle is divided into 3 parts, 3 parts are colored.

Hence:

$\frac{3}{3}=1$

The number of parts in the circle represents the denominator of the fraction, and the number of colored parts represents the numerator.

The circle is divided into 4 parts, 2 parts are colored.

Hence:

$\frac{2}{4}$
