The blank of a fraction shows the total number of equal parts in a whole?
The denominator of a fraction represents the total number of equal parts into which a whole is divided. It indicates the number of equal parts the whole is divided into and is located below the fraction bar. For example, in the fraction 3/5, the denominator is 5, representing the total number of equal parts in the whole.
What represents the total number of equal parts if the bottom number is a fraction?
numerator
What is the number that tells how many parts are in a whole?

When you are shading in a fraction is the fraction represented by the shaded parts or the non shaded parts?
The shaded parts
What number is represented when all parts of a fraction model are shaded?
whole number
What number is represented when no parts of a fraction model are shaded?
Zero
How do you write the number of shaded parts and the fraction of the whole that is shaded?
Count how many parts there are in total (both shaded and unshaded) and write this as the denominator (bottom number) of the fraction. Count how many shaded parts there are and write this as the numerator (top number) of the fraction. You now have the fraction of the whole that is shaded.
What fraction and mixed number can you write for the shaded parts of the fiqures?
I suppose that would depend on being able to see the shaded parts of the figures.
What is the name for the number in a fraction that tells how many equal parts are shaded?

How do you use rectangular models for multiplying fractions?
Draw as many rectangles as the whole number you are multiplying by. Then, draw the fraction you are multiplying by in all of the rectangles. Shade in the top number in the fraction [numerator] in your rectangles. Count all the shaded in parts of all your rectangles. Leave the bottom number of your fraction [denominator] the same and put the number you got when you added the shaded parts of the rectangles on top as your denominator of the fraction. That is your answer!
Of 100 equal parts 63 are shaded what fraction is unshaded?
If 63 out of 100 parts are shaded, then the fraction shaded is 63/100. To find the fraction unshaded, subtract the shaded fraction from 1 (since the total parts add up to 1): 1 - 63/100 = 37/100. Therefore, 37 out of the 100 parts are unshaded.
What if 100 equal parts 63 are shaded what fraction is unshaded?
It is 37/100.
