Converting Visual Circle Sectors to Fraction Notation

To solve this problem, we will follow these steps:

• Step 1: Count the total number of equal sections in the circle.
• Step 2: Count the number of shaded sections in the circle.
• Step 3: Form a fraction with the number of shaded sections as the numerator and the total number of sections as the denominator.

Now, let's work through each step:

Step 1: The circle is divided into 8 equal sections. This is our total number of parts, which will be the denominator of our fraction.

Step 2: Count the number of shaded sections. The drawing shows 4 sections shaded out of 8 total sections.

Step 3: Using the formula for a fraction $\frac{\text{Number of shaded parts}}{\text{Total number of parts}}$, we find the fraction: $\frac{4}{8}$.

Comparing this with the provided choices, we see that $\frac{4}{8}$ is one of the options.

Therefore, the solution to the problem is $\frac{4}{8}$.
