Question

what fraction of the shapes are circles?
options: $\frac{5}{8}$, $\frac{3}{6}$, $\frac{2}{3}$, $\frac{6}{8}$

Explanation:

Step1: Count total shapes

There are 3 circles and 3 squares, so total shapes: \( 3 + 3 = 6 \).

Step2: Count circle shapes

Number of circles: \( 3 \).

Step3: Find the fraction

Fraction of circles = \( \frac{\text{Number of circles}}{\text{Total number of shapes}} = \frac{3}{6} \).

Answer:

\( \frac{3}{6} \) (corresponding to the option "B. \( \frac{3}{6} \)" if options are labeled A, B, C, D with the second box as B)
