Part of an Amount - Examples, Exercises and Solutions

Let's begin:

Step 1: Upon examination, the diagram divides the rectangle into 7 vertical sections.

Step 2: The entire shaded region spans the full width, essentially covering all sections, so the shaded number is 7.

Step 3: The fraction of the total rectangle that is shaded is $\frac{7}{7}$.

Step 4: Simplifying, $\frac{7}{7}$ becomes $1$.

Therefore, the solution is marked by the choice: Answers a + b.

Let's solve this problem step-by-step:

First, examine the grid and count the total number of sections. Observing the grid, there is a total of 6 columns, each representing equal-sized portions along the grid, as evidenced by vertical lines.

Next, count how many of these sections are colored. The entire portion from the first column to the fourth column is colored. This means we have 4 out of 6 sections that are marked red.

We can then express the colored area as a fraction: $\frac{4}{6}$.

To determine the fraction of the area that is shaded, we need to analyze the diagram carefully.

• Step 1: Count the total number of squares in the grid.
• Step 2: Count the number of shaded squares.
• Step 3: Calculate the fraction by dividing the number of shaded squares by the total number of squares.
• Step 4: Compare this fraction with the given choices.

Now, let's execute each step:

Step 1: The grid is structured in terms of columns and rows. Observing the entire structure, we find that there are clearly 10 columns and 1 row of squares, leading to a total of $10 \times 1 = 10$ squares in the grid.

Step 2: Each square width equals that of one column; 4 shaded sections fill up to 5 sections of columns horizontally:

• Two small shaded squares (1 width) plus one square is completely filled as part of two columns, making up 2 columns in total.
• One large shaded rectangle (5 width) fully occupies the width of a large single square (2 columns), counting as 5 columns (2 + 3 more), confirming 2 + 3 column segments cover it.

Step 3: Simplifies the amount as layed means $5$ shaded parts.

Step 4: Thus, the fraction calculated is $\frac{5}{10}$, which simplifies to $\frac{1}{2}$.

The correct answer choice corresponds to choices b and c as $\frac{5}{10}$ and $\frac{1}{2}$ are equivalent by simplification.

Therefore, the answer is:

Answers b and c

To determine the marked part, we need to calculate the fraction of the diagram that is shaded red.

First, we count the total number of rectangles in the diagram. There are 10 rectangles visible along a straight line.

Next, we count the number of rectangles shaded red. There are 8 red rectangles in the diagram.

Therefore, the fraction of the total diagram that is marked red is calculated as $\frac{\text{Number of Red Rectangles}}{\text{Total Number of Rectangles}} = \frac{8}{10}$.

This fraction simplifies to $\frac{4}{5}$, but the answer provided is in the form $\frac{8}{10}$, which is equivalent.

Therefore, the marked part of the diagram is $\frac{8}{10}$.

To solve the problem of finding the fraction of the marked part in the grid:

The grid consists of a series of squares, each of equal size. The task is to count how many squares are marked compared to the entire grid.

• First, count the total number of squares in the entire grid.
• Next, count the number of marked (colored) squares.
• Then, calculate the fraction of the marked part by dividing the number of marked squares by the total number of squares.

Let's perform these steps:

The grid displays several rows of columns. Visually, there appear to be a total of 10 squares in one row with corresponding columns, forming a grid.

Count the marked squares from the provided SVG graphic:

• There are 4 shaded (marked) regions.

Total squares: 10 (lines are shown for organizing squares, as seen).

Calculate the fraction:

$\frac{\text{marked squares}}{\text{total squares}} = \frac{4}{10}$

Thus, the marked part of the shape can be given as a fraction: $\frac{4}{10}$.
