From both the strips given below, find the fraction of the strips that are shaded green.

Answer 1

Fraction of green in the first strip =$\frac{6}{8}$
Fraction of green in the second strip = $\frac{5}{8}$
Total fraction of the strips shaded green = $\frac{6}{8}+\frac{5}{8}$

= $\frac{6+5}{8}$

= $\frac{11}{8}$
