Math Problem Statement
Complete the statement to explain how the fraction 1/8 relates to the model. The model has 8 equal parts. One of the parts is shaded. The fraction 1/8 represents the area of the shaded part of the model.
Solution
The image presents a question regarding a model divided into equal parts, with one part shaded.
The task involves completing the statement:
- The model is divided into 8 equal parts.
- One of these parts is shaded, and the fraction representing the shaded part is 1/8.
- The fraction 1/8 represents the area of the shaded part of the model.
Correct dropdown answers:
- "8" for the number of equal parts.
- "area" for what the fraction represents.
- "shaded parts" for which part of the model is represented by the fraction.
Would you like more details or explanations? Here are five related questions to expand on this concept:
- What would the fraction be if 3 parts were shaded?
- How can you represent the unshaded part of the model as a fraction?
- If the model had 12 equal parts with 2 shaded, what fraction would represent the shaded area?
- How can this model be used to explain the concept of equivalent fractions?
- How would the fraction change if two parts were shaded?
Tip: Remember, when working with fractions, the denominator represents the total number of parts, and the numerator represents how many parts are being considered (e.g., shaded).
