Question

what fraction of the shapes are circles?
image of two purple circles and one green rectangle
options: (\frac{2}{3}), (\frac{2}{8}), (\frac{5}{6}), (\frac{3}{4})

Explanation:

Step1: Count total shapes

There are 2 circles and 1 rectangle, so total shapes = \(2 + 1 = 3\).

Step2: Count circle shapes

Number of circles = \(2\).

Step3: Find the fraction

Fraction of circles = \(\frac{\text{Number of circles}}{\text{Total number of shapes}} = \frac{2}{3}\).

Answer:

\(\frac{2}{3}\) (corresponding to the first option, e.g., if options are labeled A - D with A being \(\frac{2}{3}\), then A. \(\frac{2}{3}\))
