Step-by-Step Solution

The problem involves finding the fraction represented by shaded parts in a drawing. Here's a step-by-step guide to solve it:

  • Step 1: Count the total number of sections in the drawing. There are 7 blocks arranged linearly.
  • Step 2: Since each block appears to be fully shaded, count those shaded. Each of the 7 blocks is shaded.
  • Step 3: The fraction is formed by placing the number of shaded sections over the total sections. Thus, the fraction is 77\frac{7}{7}.

The fraction for the shaded portion of the drawing is 77\frac{7}{7}, which is a complete whole, as every block is shaded.

Therefore, the solution to the problem is 77\frac{7}{7}.

Answer

77 \frac{7}{7}
