Question

Can you help me with this

Answer 1

`\frac{\boxed{2}}{\boxed{3}} * \frac{\boxed{1}}{\boxed{2}} = \frac{\boxed{1}}{\boxed{3}}`

Explanation:

The square is 1 unit long and 1 unit wide
There are 3 smaller rectangles in the horizontal direction

Length of each rectangle is therefore 1/3 unit

There are 6 rectangles along the vertical direction

The height of each rectangle is therefore 1/6 unit

The shaded area is 2 rectangles wide and 3 rectangles in height

Width of shaded area = 2 x 1/3 = 2/3

Height of shaded region = 3 x 1/6 = 1/2

Area of shaded rectangle is

`\frac{\boxed{2}}{\boxed{3}} * \frac{\boxed{1}}{\boxed{2}} = \frac{\boxed{1}}{\boxed{3}}`
