Identify the Fraction: Converting a 8-Part Circle Diagram

Question

Write the fraction shown in the drawing:

00:00 Convert from visual representation to mathematical representation of the fraction

00:04 Count the division cells of the whole (denominator)

00:17 Count the number of colored parts (numerator)

00:27 And this is the solution to the question

The goal is to determine the fraction represented by the shaded portions of a circle. To do this, follow the steps below:

Step 1: Count the total number of equal sections within the circle. In this diagram, the circle is divided into eight equal parts.
Step 2: Count the number of sections that are shaded. There are five parts that are shaded.
Step 3: Write the fraction as the number of shaded parts out of the total number of parts. Hence, the fraction is $\frac{5}{8}$ .

In conclusion, the fraction corresponding to the shaded sections is $\frac{5}{8}$ .

$\frac{5}{8}$
