Understanding Fractions in Shaded Figures

The video tutorial explains how to determine the fraction of a shape that is shaded red. It begins with a circle divided into eight equal parts, with seven parts shaded, illustrating the fraction 7/8. The tutorial then discusses how fractions are typically written and represented in text. It continues with a bar example divided into nine sections, with eight shaded, representing the fraction 8/9. Finally, another circle example is provided, showing a fraction of 7/9. The video emphasizes understanding fractions through visual examples and how to express them in written form.

What fraction of the circle is shaded red if it is divided into eight equal parts and seven are shaded?

• 6/8

• 7/8

• 1/8

• 8/8

How do we traditionally write the fraction for seven parts shaded out of eight?

• 8 out of 7

• 8 over 7

• 7 out of 8

• 7 over 8

What is a common issue when typing fractions?

• Fractions can't be typed

• Fractions are always incorrect

• No way to write one number over another

• Fractions are too complex

If a bar is divided into nine equal sections and eight are shaded red, what fraction represents the shaded part?

• 1/9

• 8/9

• 7/9

• 9/8

In a circle divided into nine parts with seven shaded, what fraction is shaded?

• 6/9

• 9/7

• 7/9

• 8/9
