Answer: Yes Leah Is Correct.

Step-by-step explanation: Leah is correct because if you have a rectangle divided into 4 parts than if you will be asked how much parts will you need to make this fraction a whole you’ll say 4 since if you say for example six you will be wrong since six is too much so if you shade one part in than it’s 1/4 ths now let’s say you shaded in 3/4th you will see 3 shaded and one more left not shaded in which gives the fraction the name 3/4.


hope this made sense.
