Question

Draw a rectangle and divide it into 8 parts. Also shade three quarters of the figure obtained.

Answer 1

We need to shade three quarters of this figure.
Total number of parts = 8
A quarter of 8 parts = $\frac{1}{4}$ of 8 = (8 ÷ 4) = 2
Number of parts to be shaded = three quarters of 8
= a quarter of 8 + a quarter of 8 + a quarter of 8
= 2 + 2 + 2 = 6

Therefore, number of parts to be shaded = 6 parts
