Write the fraction shown in the drawing:
To solve this problem, we will represent the fraction depicted by the shaded parts of the grid.
First, observe that we have a grid that is divided into 8 equal sections (since we have a 2x4 grid, indicating 2 rows and 4 columns). This makes the total number of parts .
Next, count the number of shaded sections. From the illustration, 3 out of these 8 sections are shaded.
Thus, the fraction represented by the shaded sections of the grid is .
Therefore, the solution to the problem is .
Write the fraction as a mixed number:
\( \frac{10}{7}= \)
The denominator is always the total number of equal sections in the grid. Count carefully: this 2×4 grid has 8 total sections, so the denominator is 8.
All sections in a proper fraction grid are equal in size. If they look different, it might be the visual perspective. Focus on counting the number of sections, not their apparent size.
Always check if your fraction can be simplified! For , since 3 and 8 share no common factors other than 1, it's already in simplest form.
Go back and count systematically! Point to each shaded section and count: "1, 2, 3..." Don't rush - accuracy is more important than speed.
In grid problems, you typically won't get improper fractions since you can't shade more sections than exist. The numerator should always be less than or equal to the denominator.
