Answer:

3/7

Explanation:

There are 4 small squares inside the figure.

The partial squares are all half squares, so each two triangles have the same are as 1 small square. There are 6 small triangles which add to 3 squares.

4 + 3 = 7

Total area = 7 squares

Shaded area = 2 squares + 2 half squares = 3 squares

Fraction of shaded area = 3/7
