What fraction does the part shaded in red represent?
What fraction does the part shaded in red represent?
To work out what the marked part is, we need to count how many coloured squares there are compared to how many squares there are in total.
If we count the coloured squares, we see that there are four such squares.
If we count all the squares, we see that there are seven in all.
Therefore, 4/7 of the squares are shaded in red.
