What is the marked part?

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

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 77 \frac{7}{7} .

Step 4: Simplifying, 77 \frac{7}{7} becomes 1 1 .

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

Answer

Answers a + b

Exercise #13

What is the marked part?

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

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: 46 \frac{4}{6} .

Answer

46 \frac{4}{6}

Exercise #15

Without calculating, determine whether the quotient in the following division is less than 1:

11:8 11:8

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

Note that the numerator is smaller than the denominator:

11 > 8

As a result, it can be written like this:

\frac{11}{8} > 1

Therefore, the quotient in the division problem is not less than 1.

Answer

Not less than 1
