Given the number line, it appears that in every 1/2 of a number, there are 5 bars in it. And in every 5 bars, 4 bars were shaded.

Adding the number of shades, we get:

4 + 4 + 4 = 12

Adding the total number of bars, we get:

5 + 5 + 5 = 15

The total number of bars sums up to be 3/2 in the number line.

Putting this into an equation, we get:


\text{ }(12)/(15)\text{ of }(3)/(2)\rightarrow((12)/(3))/((15)/(3))\rightarrow(4)/(5)of(3)/(2)\text{ }

Therefore, the answer is 4/5 of 3/2. It is letter B.
