Question

the figure is cut into 10 equal pieces. shade \\(\frac{3}{5}\\) of the figure.

Explanation:

Step1: Find equivalent fraction

To find how many out of 10 pieces represent $\frac{3}{5}$, we convert $\frac{3}{5}$ to a fraction with denominator 10. Multiply numerator and denominator by 2: $\frac{3\times2}{5\times2}=\frac{6}{10}$.

Step2: Shade the pieces

Since the figure is cut into 10 equal pieces, we shade 6 of them to represent $\frac{3}{5}$ (which is equivalent to $\frac{6}{10}$).

Answer:

Shade 6 out of the 10 equal pieces (e.g., shade the first 6 blue - outlined rectangles in the figure).
