Question

Shade: (i) $\frac{1}{2}$ of the circles in box (a)
(ii) $\frac{2}{3}$ of the triangles in box (b)
(iii) $\frac{3}{5}$ of the squares in box (c).

Answer 1

(i) It can be observed that there are 12 circles in the given box. We have to shade $\frac{1}{2}$ of the circles in it. As 12 × $\frac{1}{2}$= 6, therefore, we will shade any 6 circles of it.

(ii) It can be observed that there are 9 triangles in the given box. We have to shade $\frac{2}{3}$ of the triangles in it. As 9 × $\frac{2}{3}$ = 6, therefore, we will shade any 6 triangles of it.

(iii) It can be observed that there are 15 squares in the given box. We have to shade $\frac{3}{5}$ of the squares in it. As $\frac{3}{5}$ × 15 = 9, therefore, we will shade any 9 squares of it.
