Step-by-step solution

6 steps
  1. Solve Question 1.

    a) To show 14\frac{1}{4}, draw a shape (e.g., a rectangle or circle) divided into 4 equal parts. Shade 1 of these parts.

    b) To show 23\frac{2}{3}, draw a shape (e.g., a rectangle or circle) divided into 3 equal parts. Shade 2 of these parts.

  2. Solve Question 2.

    a) The given rectangle is divided into 4 equal parts. To shade 34\frac{3}{4}, shade 3 of these 4 parts.

    b) The given circle is divided into 6 equal parts. To shade 56\frac{5}{6}, shade 5 of these 6 parts.

  3. Solve Question 3.

    a) If a bar of chocolate is shared equally among seven friends, it is divided into 7 equal parts. Each part is a seventh.
    There are 7 sevenths\boxed{\text{7 sevenths}} in the bar of chocolate.

    b) Each child gets one of the seven equal parts.
    Each child got 1 seventh\boxed{\text{1 seventh}}.

    c) If three children each get one seventh, then altogether they get 1 seventh+1 seventh+1 seventh1 \text{ seventh} + 1 \text{ seventh} + 1 \text{ seventh}.
    Three children got 3 sevenths\boxed{\text{3 sevenths}} altogether.

    d) Seven sevenths as a fraction is 77\frac{7}{7}.
    This fraction means the whole\boxed{\text{whole}} bar of chocolate.

  4. Solve Question 4.

    a) Count the small squares in the given shape.
    The shape has 8 equal parts\boxed{\text{8 equal parts}}.

    b) One part is called one eighth\boxed{\text{eighth}}.

    c) One part using a fraction symbol is 18\boxed{\frac{1}{8}}.

    d) To draw the same shape and shade in 78\frac{7}{8}, draw a rectangle divided into 8 equal squares. Shade 7 of these 8 squares.

    e) If 78\frac{7}{8} is shaded, the total number of parts is 8, and 7 are shaded. The number of parts not shaded is 8−7=18 - 7 = 1.
    The fraction not shaded is 18\boxed{\frac{1}{8}}.

  5. Solve Question 5.

    A) The diagram shows a pentagon divided into 5 equal triangles. 2 of these triangles are shaded.
    The fraction shaded is 25\boxed{\frac{2}{5}}. The name of the fraction is two-fifths.
    B) The diagram shows a shape made of 8 equal squares. 4 of these squares are shaded.
    The fraction shaded is 48\boxed{\frac{4}{8}}. This can be simplified to 12\frac{1}{2}. The name of the fraction is four-eighths or one-half.
    C) The diagram shows a circle divided into 8 equal sectors. 5 of these sectors are shaded.
    The fraction shaded is 58\boxed{\frac{5}{8}}. The name of the fraction is five-eighths.

  6. Solve Question 6.

    The diagram is a circle divided into 8 equal parts. 5 parts are shaded.
    To find the fraction not shaded, subtract the shaded fraction from the whole:

    1−58=88−58=8−58=381 - \frac{5}{8} = \frac{8}{8} - \frac{5}{8} = \frac{8-5}{8} = \frac{3}{8}

    The fraction that has not been shaded is 38\boxed{\frac{3}{8}}.
