How do I divide a circle into five equal angles?

W

Working group too.

I am adding two mixed numbers (combinations of whole and a proper fraction).
Further, I am trying to create a graphic reresentation of the same by
representing those fractions with circles.

Example: 4/5 + 2/5 = 6/5 which is one whole and 1/5.

I want to draw one circle with 4/5 selected and another circle with 2/5
selected = one complete circle seclected + one fifth of the second circle
selected. Of course they are equal parts.

You can create partial circles using the Pie Slice AutoShape from the More
AutoShapes category (you'll probably want to remove the shadow). You can
then combine and group these pieces (which can be differently colored) to
get the illustration you want. You'll have to eyeball the angles, as I don't
think there's any way to select these precisely.

Easily done in Excel by creating a few pie charts with the pie slices
colored as desired. Not easily done in Word.

You can create pie charts in Word as well.
