Question

A square sheet of one meter in length is folded twice as shown below. What fraction of the whole square does the resulting square represent?

• A. $\frac{1}{4}$
• B. $\frac{1}{3}$
• C. $\frac{1}{2}$
• D. $\frac{3}{4}$

Answer 1

The correct option is A $\frac{1}{4}$

When the paper is folded twice as shown, the resulting square will represent one-fourth of the original square. Because four such small squares will constitute the whole square.
Hence, the resulting square represents one-fourth of the original square.
