Question

Which of the drawings (a) to (d) show :
$(a)$

$(b)$

$(c)$

$(d)$

(i) 2 × $\frac{1}{5}$
(ii) 2 × $\frac{1}{2}$
(iii) 3 × $\frac{2}{3}$
(iv) 3 × $\frac{1}{4}$

Answer 1

(i) 2 × $\frac{1}{5}$ = represents the addition of 2 figures, each representing 1 shaded part out of 5 equal 2 × $\frac{1}{5}$ parts. Hence, is represented by (d).
(ii) 2 × $\frac{1}{2}$ = represents the addition of 2 figures, each representing 1 shaded part out of 2 equal 2 × $\frac{1}{2}$ parts. Hence, is represented by (b).
(iii) 3 × $\frac{2}{3}$ = represents the addition of 3 figures, each representing 2 shaded parts out of 3 equal 3 × $\frac{2}{3}$ parts. Hence, is represented by (a).
(iv) 3 × $\frac{1}{4}$ = represents the addition of 3 figures, each representing 1 shaded part out of 4 equal 3 × $\frac{1}{4}$ parts. Hence, is represented by (c).
