-
B
The correct answer is .
Please Note:
A fraction represents a part of a whole.
For instance:
- each part of a shape, when divided into two equal parts, is called a half.
- each part of a shape, when divided into three equal parts, is called a third.
- each part of a shape, when divided into four equal parts, is called a fourth.
- each part of a shape, when divided into five equal parts, is called a fifth.
Solution:
We consider all the fraction models one by one in order to identify the fraction showing a one-fifth.
- We consider the first fraction model.
The given fraction model shows five equal parts.
The shaded part of the fraction model shows a one-fifth.
One-fifth means one of five equal parts.
- Looking at the second fraction model.
The given fraction model shows five equal parts.
The shaded part of the fraction model shows three-fifths.
Three-fifths means three of five equal parts.
Therefore, the fraction model, shows a one-fifth.
