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:

  1. What would the fraction be if 3 parts were shaded?
  2. How can you represent the unshaded part of the model as a fraction?
  3. If the model had 12 equal parts with 2 shaded, what fraction would represent the shaded area?
  4. How can this model be used to explain the concept of equivalent fractions?
  5. 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).
