Question

what fraction of the shapes are rectangles?
image of 5 purple rectangles and 1 blue triangle
use a slash ( / ) to separate the numerator and denominator.

Explanation:

Step1: Count total shapes

There are 6 shapes (4 rectangles + 1 triangle + 1 rectangle? Wait, no: let's count again. The shapes are: 5 rectangles? Wait, no, looking at the image: first four are rectangles, then a triangle, then a rectangle. So total shapes: 1 (first) +1 (second)+1 (third)+1 (fourth)+1 (triangle)+1 (sixth) = 6 total.

Step2: Count rectangles

Number of rectangles: first, second, third, fourth, sixth. Wait, no: first is rectangle, second, third, fourth, sixth. Wait, the fifth is a triangle. So rectangles: 5? Wait no, wait the first four are rectangles, then triangle, then sixth is rectangle. So 1+1+1+1+1 (sixth) = 5? Wait no, let's count again. The shapes:

1. Rectangle

1. Rectangle

1. Rectangle

1. Rectangle

1. Triangle

1. Rectangle

So total shapes: 6. Rectangles: 5? Wait no, 1,2,3,4,6: that's 5? Wait no, 1,2,3,4,6: 5 rectangles? Wait no, 1,2,3,4,6: 5? Wait 1+1+1+1+1 (sixth) = 5? Wait no, 1,2,3,4,6: 5 rectangles. Wait but let's check again. The fifth is a triangle, so total shapes: 6. Rectangles: 5? Wait no, maybe I miscounted. Wait the first four are rectangles, then triangle, then sixth is rectangle. So 4 +1 =5 rectangles. Total shapes: 6. So fraction is number of rectangles / total shapes = 5/6? Wait no, wait the first four, then triangle, then sixth: so 1,2,3,4,6: that's 5 rectangles. Total shapes: 6. So 5/6? Wait no, wait maybe I made a mistake. Wait let's count again:

Shapes:

1. Rectangle

1. Rectangle

1. Rectangle

1. Rectangle

1. Triangle

1. Rectangle

So total shapes: 6. Rectangles: 5. So fraction is 5/6? Wait no, wait the first four, then sixth: that's 5? Wait 1,2,3,4,6: 5. Yes. So numerator is 5, denominator is 6.

Wait wait, maybe I miscounted. Wait the first four are rectangles, then triangle, then sixth is rectangle. So 4 +1 =5. Total 6. So 5/6.

Answer:

5/6
