Which figure shows a shape with of its area shaded in red?
To solve this problem, follow these steps:
Now, let's work through these steps:
Step 1: Upon examining the figures provided:
Step 2: Calculate the shaded fraction for each figure:
Step 3: Identify which figure has of its area shaded:
Therefore, the solution to the problem is that Figure C correctly shows of its area shaded in red.
What is the marked part?
Look for identical shapes and sizes. In rectangles divided by straight lines, each section should have the same dimensions. If they look different sizes, the parts aren't equal!
The denominator must match the total number of equal parts. If you see 6 parts with 4.5 shaded, that's not - you need exactly 4 equal parts with 3 shaded.
Yes! The three shaded parts don't need to touch each other. What matters is that exactly 3 out of 4 equal parts are red, regardless of their position.
Always double-check by counting: total parts in denominator, shaded parts in numerator. Write out each fraction like , , etc., then compare to .
Figure C has 4 equal squares with exactly 3 shaded red. Figure A has 1/4, Figure B has 2/4, and Figure D has 4/4 (completely shaded). Only Figure C matches !
