Exploring Equal Sections in Fractions

The video tutorial explains fractions using visual aids. It begins with a square divided into nine equal sections, demonstrating how shading one section represents 1/9 of the whole. The tutorial progresses to shading multiple sections, illustrating how fractions like 4/9 are formed. It then explores whole fractions using five equal sections, showing that shading all sections results in a whole (5/5). The video includes practice exercises with different figures, emphasizing the need for equal sections to accurately represent fractions. The tutorial concludes by highlighting the importance of equal sections in understanding fractions.

If a square is divided into nine equal parts, what fraction does one part represent?

• 1/10

• 1/8

• 1/9

• 1/7

What is the fraction for shading one out of nine equal sections?

• 1/9

• 1/8

• 1/7

• 1/6

What fraction of the square is shaded if four out of nine parts are colored?

• 2/5

• 4/9

• 3/8

• 1/4

If five sections of a shape are all shaded, what fraction of the shape is shaded?

• 5/5

• 1/5

• 4/5

• 3/5

What does a fraction of 5/5 indicate about the shaded area of the shape?

• It is partially filled

• It is empty

• It is completely filled

• It is three-quarters filled

In a shape divided into six sections, if four are shaded, what fraction is that?

• 3/4

• 1/2

• 4/6

• 2/3

What fraction of a circle is shaded if four out of five sections are colored?

• 2/5

• 4/4

• 3/5

• 4/5

If a shape is divided into two equal parts and both are shaded, what does this represent?

• Half

• One third

• A whole

• One fourth

Why can't we say a figure with unequal sections shaded 3/4 is accurate?

• Because no sections are shaded

• Because the sections are not equal

• Because it is less than half

• Because it is more than half

What fraction represents the shaded area if three out of four unequal sections are shaded?

• Cannot determine

• 1/4

• 1/2

• 3/4
