[Music] welcome to Math with Mr J In this video I'm going to cover how to write fractions that represent the shaded part of a shape Let's jump right into our examples Starting with number one So what fraction of this shape is shaded Let's start with the bottom number of the fraction the denominator That's going to be the total number of equal parts a whole has been divided into So how many equal parts has the whole square been divided into 1 2 3 4 And that's our denominator So four Now we need the top number the numerator That's going to be the number of equal parts that are shaded out of the hole So 1 2 3 that's our numerator So we can see that three out of four parts are shaded Our fraction is 3 over 4 which we say 34s Let's move on to number two and we will start with the denominator So how many total equal parts has the whole been divided into Well 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 So we have a denominator of eight here Now for the numerator how many equal parts have been shaded 1 2 3 4 5 6 So our numerator is six We have six out of eight parts shaded Our fraction is 6 over 8 which we say 68s Moving on to number three Let's start with the denominator again So how many total equal parts has this whole rectangle been divided into 1 2 3 So three is our denominator Now we need the numerator So how many equal parts are shaded One two So two is our numerator Two out of three parts are shaded Our fraction 2 over 3 which we say 2/3 Moving on to number four Let's start with the denominator So how many total equal parts has the whole been divided into 1 2 3 4 5 6 So 6 is our denominator Now we need the numerator So how many equal parts are shaded One So one is our numerator One out of six parts are shaded So our fraction 1 over 6 which we say 16th Next for number five let's see how many total equal parts the whole has been divided into 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 So 10 is our denominator And as far as the numerator we have 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 equal parts shaded in So our numerator is 7 7 out of 10 parts are shaded So our fraction is 7 over 10 which we say 710ths And then lastly for number six let's see how many total equal parts our hole has been divided into We have 1 2 3 4 5 So five is our denominator Now for the numerator so how many equal parts are shaded 1 2 So two is our numerator two out of five parts are shaded So our fraction is 2 over 5 which we say 2 fths So there you have it There's how to write fractions that represent the shaded part of a shape I hope that helped Thanks so much for watching Until next time peace
