Visual Representation of 26/12: Fraction Identification Challenge

Choose the option that visually represents the following fraction:

$\frac{26}{12}$

To visually represent $\frac{26}{12}$, we first convert it into a mixed number:

1. Divide 26 by 12. The quotient is 2, and the remainder is 2. Thus, $26 \div 12 = 2$ with a remainder of 2.
2. Express the remainder as a fraction: $\frac{2}{12}$. This can be simplified to $\frac{1}{6}$.
3. Combine: The mixed number is $2 \frac{1}{6}$.

Therefore, our task is to find the visual representation that depicts two whole circles (or any filled shape indicating the whole parts) and an additional $\frac{1}{6}$ of another.

Upon analyzing the choices, Option 1 is the correct visual representation. It shows:

• Two fully filled circular shapes for the two whole components, and
• An additional segment showing $\frac{1}{6}$ of a circular shape filled in.

Therefore, the correct visual representation of the fraction $\frac{26}{12}$ as a mixed number is accurately shown by Option 1.
