Converting Circle Sectors: Write the Shaded Fraction in Words

Write the fraction shown in the picture, in words:

To solve this problem, we'll follow these steps:

• Step 1: Analyze the given visual representation.
• Step 2: Identify the fraction and convert it into words.

Initially, we examine the circle in the provided graphic, which is divided into three equal parts. Two of these parts are shaded.

Step 1: Count the sections. There are three sections in total, which means the denominator of the fraction is 3. Two of these sections are shaded, so the numerator is 2.

Step 2: Translate the numeric fraction $\frac{2}{3}$ into words.
The word representation of $\frac{2}{3}$ is "two thirds."

Thus, the answer to this problem is two thirds.
