hello

to solve this problem, we need to know the total number of triangles in the diagram

i'lll go ahead and count it

we have 5 triangles plus the large triangle making it a total of 6 triangles

assuming all the triangles are of equal size,

we'll have a case of 1:6

that is, 1/6

the fraction of the large triangle represented in each region is 1/6
