Question

making fractions
divide the rectangle into eighths. be sure each part is the same size!
color one eighth red. color three eighths blue. color half of the

Explanation:

Step1: Divide rectangle into 8 equal parts

Split the rectangle into 8 congruent smaller rectangles (e.g., draw 7 equally spaced vertical lines, or 3 horizontal + 1 vertical line to make 8 same-size sections).

Step2: Color 1 part red

Color $\frac{1}{8}$ of the total area red.

Step3: Color 3 parts blue

Color $\frac{3}{8}$ of the total area blue.

Step4: Color half the rectangle

Half of 8 parts is 4, so color 4 remaining (or any 4) parts (the problem cuts off, but half = $\frac{4}{8}$).

Answer:

The rectangle is split into 8 equal sections: 1 section red, 3 sections blue, and 4 sections (half) in the remaining specified color. A visual representation would show:

• $\frac{1}{8}$ red, $\frac{3}{8}$ blue, $\frac{4}{8}$ (or $\frac{1}{2}$) of the final required color, with all 8 sections equal in size.
