In math, when a fraction is shaded, it typically refers to the portion of a shape or region that has been colored in or highlighted. This visual representation helps to understand the concept of fractions as parts of a whole. The shaded area represents the numerator of the fraction, while the total area of the shape represents the denominator. By visually seeing the shaded portion in relation to the whole, students can grasp the concept of fractions more concretely.
The shaded parts
I see no shaded part fo the fraction must be "none".
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.
Half of it
0. Since there is no shaded part visible.

3/10 are shaded.
5/8 of it.
Half of it
It is called the shaded part!
0. Since there is no shaded part visible.
4 and a half
How ever many extra shaded parts there are, well, say one whole is 6/6, and you have 9 pieces, instead of 6/6 with 3 left over, it's 9/6. In math you would call it an improper fraction.
2/3 is not shaded.
