In the given figure, 2 parts out of 3 equal parts are shaded. We express it as
3
and read it as two-thirds or two by three or two over three.

example: Write the fraction for the shaded parts. Also, write it in words.

(a) (b) (c) (d)

Solution:
Number of shaded parts 2
(a) = (two-sixths)
Total number of equal parts 6

Number of shaded parts 1
(b) = (half)
Total number of equal parts 2

(c) Number of shaded parts = 5 (five-eighths)
Total number of equal parts 8
Number of shaded parts 3
(d) = (three-fourths)
Total number of equal parts 4

Think and Answer
1. What fraction of the given triangle represents the shaded parts?
2. What fraction of the given triangle represents the unshaded parts?

numerator and denominator of a Fraction

Monu’s mat has 9 squares. He paints 4 squares red.

4 Numerator
The fraction representing red squares =
9 Denominator
Here, 4 is called the Numerator and 9 is called the Denominator of the fraction.

A fraction is written with two numbers arranged one over the

other and separated by a horizontal line. The number above Remember
the line is called the Numerator and the number below the line The line that separates
the numerator and
is called the Denominator of the fraction. denominator in the
fraction is called 'fraction
