Question

The figure is cut into 6 equal pieces.
What fraction of the figure is shaded dark? 5 is shaded, 1 isn’t. whats the answer?

Answer 1

Answer:

$\frac{5}{6}$

Explanation:

The answer is $\frac{5}{6}$

The reason is,

$\frac{6}{6} -\frac{1}{6} = \frac{5}{6}$

If I explain more,

Just think that you have a cake and you cut it to 6 equal pieces. But  after some time there only 1 piece left. Now think how many pieces that you have eaten. You had eaten 5 pieces from 6 pieces.

As the same way, the figure had shaded 5 pieces.

So, you can write a fraction of the figure that have shaded,

$\frac{5}{6}$

Hope this helps you.

Let me know if you have any other questions :-)
