    Answer: A circle divided into 10 equal parts with 8 parts shaded

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Alright, there are a lot of words here so lets write them down as fractions so its easier to compare.

    A circle divided into 5 parts with 1 part shaded = 1/5

    A circle divided into 10 parts with 5 parts shaded = 5/10

    A circle divided into 6 parts with 2 parts shaded = 1/3

    A circle divided into 10 parts with 8 parts shaded = 8/10

    Okay so looking at this we can see that they don't have a common denominator so lets fix that

    1/5 = 6/30

    5/10 = 15/30

    1/3 = 10/30

    8/10 = 24/30

    3/5 = 18/30

    Now lets find which one is greater than 3/5

    Only the 24/30 one is greater, and looking back that is the circle divided into 10 parts with 8 of them shaded.
