The expression 3/4 × 1/2 represents a fraction of a circle that is shaded. Which diagram shows the correct shading?

To find the fraction of a circle that is shaded represented by the expression ( frac{3}{4} times frac{1}{2} ), we first multiply these two fractions:
[
frac{3}{4} times frac{1}{2} = frac{3 times 1}{4 times 2} = frac{3}{8}
]
This means that ( frac{3}{8} ) of the circle should be shaded.
To determine which diagram represents this fraction correctly, look for a diagram where 3 out of 8 equal parts of the circle are shaded. The correct choice will be the one that shows this specific portion shaded.
If you can check the options A, B, C, and D and look for the one that has exactly 3 out of the 8 parts shaded, that will provide the correct answer!

To solve the expression ( frac{3}{4} times frac{1}{2} ), we multiply the fractions:
1. Multiply the numerators: ( 3 times 1 = 3 )
2. Multiply the denominators: ( 4 times 2 = 8 )
Thus, ( frac{3}{4} times frac{1}{2} = frac{3}{8} ).
This means that ( frac{3}{8} ) of the circle should be shaded.
To find the correct diagram, look for an image where ( 3 ) out of ( 8 ) equal sections of a circle are shaded. Ensure that there are a total of ( 8 ) segments, with ( 3 ) of them colored in.
Check each option:
– If one of the diagrams clearly shows ( 3 ) out of ( 8 ) sections shaded, that’s your answer!
