Solution
Total number of parts each circle has = 5
We may observe that the first, second and third circles represent 5, 3 and 2 shaded parts out of 5 equal parts respectively. Clearly, the fraction represented by the third circle is the difference between the fractions represented by the first and second circles.
Hence, `5/5 – 3/5 = 2/5`
