Math Problem Statement

Use the fraction bar to complete the sentence: 3 out of 4 sections are shaded. What fraction of the whole is shaded?

Solution

The image shows a question asking to complete a sentence using a fraction bar. The fraction bar consists of four sections, each labeled as 14\frac{1}{4}, with three of these sections shaded. The question prompts to fill in the fraction that represents the shaded portion of the whole.

Since three out of the four sections are shaded, the correct answer is 34\frac{3}{4}.

Would you like further details or explanations on this? Here are a few related questions to deepen your understanding:

  1. What would the fraction be if only two sections were shaded?
  2. How can you express 34\frac{3}{4} as a decimal?
  3. How many sections need to be shaded for the fraction to represent 12\frac{1}{2}?
  4. What is the total fraction if all four sections are shaded?
  5. How can you visualize 14\frac{1}{4} using real-life objects?

Tip: When working with fractions, always check how many parts make up the whole to determine the denominator and count the shaded parts for the numerator.
