Part of the amount - Examples, Exercises and Solutions

What is the marked part?

We can see that there are three shaded parts out of six parts in total,

that is - 3/6

But this is not the final answer yet!

Let'snotice that this fraction can be reduced,

meaning, it is possible to divide both the numerator and the denominator by the same number,

so that the fraction does not lose its value. In this case, the number is 3.

3:3=1
6:3=2

And so we get 1/2, or one half.
And if we look at the original drawing, we can see that half of it is colored.
