Key Points to Remember

Essential concepts to master this topic
  • Grid Analysis: Count total parts first, then identify shaded sections
  • Technique: 6 shaded out of 9 total gives 69 \frac{6}{9}
  • Check: Verify by counting: 6 shaded parts + 3 unshaded = 9 total ✓

Common Mistakes

Avoid these frequent errors
  • Counting only shaded parts without considering total
    Don't just count 6 shaded parts and say "six" = incomplete answer! This ignores the denominator completely. Always count both shaded parts (numerator) and total equal parts (denominator) to write the complete fraction.

FAQ

Everything you need to know about this question

How do I know which number goes on top and bottom?

+

The shaded parts always go on top (numerator), and the total equal parts go on bottom (denominator). Think: shaded out of total.

What if the grid isn't perfectly square like this one?

+

It doesn't matter! Whether it's a rectangular grid, circle, or any shape, just count the equal parts. The shape doesn't change how fractions work.

Do I need to simplify 6/9 before writing it in words?

+

The question asks for the fraction shown in the picture, so write "six ninths" exactly as displayed. Simplifying to 23 \frac{2}{3} would be a different fraction.

How do I write fraction words correctly?

+

For 69 \frac{6}{9} : say the numerator as a counting number (six) and the denominator as an ordinal (ninths). Always make the denominator plural when numerator > 1.

What if I miscount the shaded parts?

+

Double-check by counting systematically! Go row by row or use your finger to point at each part. It's better to count twice than get the wrong answer.
