Convert Semicircle Diagram to Fraction: Visual Math Practice

Question

Write the fraction shown in the diagram as a number:

00:00 Convert from diagram to simple fraction

00:04 It appears the whole is divided into 2 parts

00:07 Therefore we'll put 2 in the denominator

00:10 Out of the 2 parts, only 1 is colored

00:13 Therefore we'll put 1 in the numerator

00:16 And this is the solution to the question

The number of parts in the circle represents the denominator of the fraction, while the number of coloured parts represents the numerator.

The circle is divided into 2 parts and 1 part is coloured.

If we rewrite this as a fraction, we obtain the following:

$\frac{1}{2}$

$\frac{1}{2}$
