Question

In the following figure, express the ratio of shaded parts to unshaded parts in the simplest term.

Answer 1

In the given figure

Total no. of column $=8$

No. is column shaded $=4$

$\mathrm{Re}quiredratio=\frac{No.ofshadedcolumn}{Totalno.ofcolumn}$

$=\frac{4}{8}=\frac{1}{2}$

So, $\mathrm{Re}quiredratio=1:2$

Which is the required answer.
