1 Here are five fractions.
| \(\dfrac{2}{8}\) | \(\dfrac{3}{9}\) | \(\dfrac{5}{25}\) | \(\dfrac{7}{28}\) | \(\dfrac{8}{40}\) |
Two of the fractions in the table are equivalent to \(\dfrac{1}{5}\)
(a) Put a tick (✓) in the box underneath each of these two fractions. (2)
The diagram shows an 8-sided polygon and its diagonals.
(b) Write down the mathematical name of an 8-sided polygon. (1)
(c) Shade \(\dfrac{3}{4}\) of the polygon shown in the diagram above. (1)
The area of a polygon is 56 cm2
(d) Find \(\dfrac{3}{4}\) of 56 (2)
