Give the fraction representing the shaded portion.

Answer 1

Representation of shaded portion into fraction-

We know that fraction contains numerator and denominator, where denominator represents total number of parts in which whole is divided and numerator represents parts of whole.

In the figure, whole shape is divided into 28 parts therefore denominator is "$28$".

Similarly, one part is shaded, therefore numerator is "$12$"

Fraction is given by $\frac{12}{28}=\frac{12÷4}{28÷4}=\frac{3}{7}$.

Final Answer: Hence, fraction for shaded portion is $\frac{3}{7}$.
