Question

the figure is shaded to represent a fraction of a whole. which fraction represents the shaded part of the figure? a. \\(\frac{4}{3}\\) b. \\(\frac{3}{4}\\) c. \\(\frac{1}{3}\\) d. \\(\frac{1}{4}\\)

Explanation:

Step1: Determine total parts

The square is divided into 4 equal parts. So total number of parts \( n = 4 \).

Step2: Determine shaded parts

Count the shaded squares. There are 3 shaded parts. So shaded parts \( s = 3 \).

Step3: Calculate the fraction

The fraction of shaded part is \( \frac{s}{n}=\frac{3}{4} \).

Answer:

B. \( \frac{3}{4} \)
