Determining the Product Representing the Fraction of the Shaded Circle

Verified archiveTo determine which product represents the fraction of the circle that is shaded, we need to calculate each option:
1. 3/4 × 1/2 = 3/8
2. 1/4 × 3/4 = 3/16
3. 2/3 × 3/4 = 6/12 = 1/2
4. 3/4 × 3/4 = 9/16
Comparing these fractions, the largest shade representing a fraction of a circle would be 1/2 from the third option, 2/3 × 3/4. This indicates that half of the circle is shaded.
So, the answer is 2/3 × 3/4. Keep practicing fractions, and if you have any more questions, I’m here to help!
