Question

Each shape is 1 whole. What fraction is represented by the shaded part of the model?

Answer 1

`(2)/(1)`

Explanation:

Each shape is 1 whole.

In the given image, there are 4 parts in each shape.

The shaded part in the first shape is 4.

The fraction of the shaded part in the first shape

`=(Number of shaded part)/(Total part of the fraction)=(4)/(4)`

The shaded part in the second shape is 4.

The fraction of the shaded part in the second shape

`=(Number of shaded part)/(Total part of the fraction)=(4)/(4)`

The shaded part of the model
`=(4)/(4)+(4)/(4)`

`=(1)/(1)+(1)/(1)`

`= (2)/(1)`

Hence, the fraction represented by the shaded part of the model is
`(2)/(1)`.
