Question

What fraction does the shaded portion represent?

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

Answer 1

The correct option is D

$\frac{3}{4}$

The numerator represents the number of parts taken out of the whole, which is written on the top of a fraction. The denominator represents the total number of parts of the whole, which is written at the bottom of a fraction.

Number of shaded parts = 3

Total number of parts = 4

Hence, the fraction representing the shaded portion is 3/4.
