Question

how many parts of the whole are shaded?
○ 6/8
○ 6/12
○ 2/8
○ 1/3

Explanation:

Step1: Count total parts

The circle is divided into 8 equal parts. So total parts \( n = 8 \).

Step2: Count shaded parts

By observing the diagram, the number of shaded parts \( s = 6 \).

Step3: Represent as fraction

The fraction of shaded parts is \( \frac{s}{n}=\frac{6}{8} \).

Answer:

6/8
