Question

Jessica drew a circle divided into 8 equal parts she shaded six of the parts what fraction is equivalent to the part of the circle that is shaded?

Answer 1

Answer:

3/4

Step-by-step explanation:

Jessica shaded 6/8 of the circle. That fraction can be reduced by removing a factor of 2 from numerator and denominator. The reduced fraction is 3/4.

$\dfrac{6}{8}=\dfrac{2\cdot 3}{2\cdot 4}=\dfrac{2}{2}\cdot\dfrac{3}{4}=1\cdot\dfrac{3}{4}\\\\=\dfrac{3}{4}$
