Converting Circle Fractions: Write 1/3 in Word Form

Write the fraction shown in the picture, in words:

To solve this problem, we'll visually interpret the pie chart provided:

• Step 1: Count the divisions of the circle in the pie chart.
• Step 2: Identify the proportion of the circle that is shaded.
• Step 3: Translate this fraction into words.

Let's work through these steps:

Step 1: The circle (pie chart) is divided into three equal parts. This division is typical for pie charts expressing fractions.

Step 2: Out of the three divisions, one segment is shaded. This visually represents the fraction $\frac{1}{3}$ of the whole circle.

Step 3: The fraction $\frac{1}{3}$ is pronounced as "one third" in words.

Thus, the fraction shown in the picture is correctly expressed in words as One third.
