Converting Circle Sectors to Fractions: Visual to Numerical Representation

Question

Write the fraction shown in the drawing, in numbers:

00:03 Let's convert the sketch into a simple fraction.

00:08 To do this, place what's in red in the numerator, and black in the denominator.

00:13 Notice, the whole is divided into four parts.

00:18 So, we'll put four in the denominator.

00:22 Two of these parts are colored.

00:25 That means we'll place two in the numerator.

00:28 And that's how we solve the problem.

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:

$\frac{2}{4}$

$\frac{2}{4}$
