Video Solution

Solution Steps

00:00 Convert drawing to simple fraction
00:04 To convert to fraction, what's red will be numerator and black will be denominator
00:09 We can see that the whole is divided into 8 parts
00:16 Therefore in denominator we'll put 8
00:22 Out of all parts, only 6 are colored
00:28 Therefore we'll put 6 in numerator
00:32 We'll simplify the fraction as much as possible
00:36 We'll make sure to divide both numerator and denominator
00:40 And this is the solution to the question
