Denominator

The number of parts in the circle represents the denominator of the fraction, while the number of coloured parts represents the numerator.

The circle is divided into 2 parts and 1 part is coloured.

If we rewrite this as a fraction, we obtain the following:

$\frac{1}{2}$

The number of parts in the circle represents the denominator of the fraction, while the number of coloured parts represents the numerator.

The circle is divided into 3 parts and 2 parts are coloured.

Hence:

$\frac{2}{3}$

The number of parts in the circle represents the denominator of the fraction, and the number of colored parts represents the numerator.

The circle is divided into 3 parts, 1 part is colored.

Hence:

$\frac{1}{3}$

Let's solve this problem step-by-step:

First, examine the grid and count the total number of sections. Observing the grid, there is a total of 6 columns, each representing equal-sized portions along the grid, as evidenced by vertical lines.

Next, count how many of these sections are colored. The entire portion from the first column to the fourth column is colored. This means we have 4 out of 6 sections that are marked red.

We can then express the colored area as a fraction: $\frac{4}{6}$.

To work out what the marked part is, we need to count how many coloured squares there are compared to how many squares there are in total.

If we count the coloured squares, we see that there are four such squares.

If we count all the squares, we see that there are seven in all.

Therefore, 4/7 of the squares are shaded in red.
