To match the products of the fractions to their corresponding shaded portions, let’s first calculate the values of the products:

1. 1/3 x 1/3 = 1/9
2. 1/4 x 1/2 = 1/8
3. 3/4 x 1/3 = 3/12 = 1/4

Now we can match the fractions to the products:

3/8 has no matching product, so it is not included.

1/9 matches with 1/3 x 1/3.

1/4 matches with 3/4 x 1/3.

1/8 matches with 1/4 x 1/2.

So, you can place them in the table like this:

– 1/9 → 1/3 x 1/3

– 1/8 → 1/4 x 1/2

– 1/4 → 3/4 x 1/3

This way, you can understand how the fractions represent parts of a circle corresponding to their products. Keep practicing, and you’ll get even better! If you need further assistance with similar topics, feel free to check the extended services page.
