Question
A strip is cut into 8 equal parts. Shade 
of this strip.
Hint:
Count the number of parts shaded in blue. If the number matches with 7, that is the required answer.
The correct answer is:
Step 1:
A strip is cut into 8 equal parts.
Step 2:
Shading of this strip, we get
To model the fraction 7/8, consider the following. The strip has been cut into 8 equal parts. This means that each part represents 1/8th of the whole strip. Hence, we need to multiply 7 x 1/8 to get the fraction 7/8. This means that we need to shade 7 parts of the 8 parts. This is done in option b.
7/8 is an example of a proper fraction. A proper fraction is one whose value is less than 1 and the denominator is always greater than the numerator. There’s no whole number part in the fraction.
