Question

What fraction of the figure is not shaded?

• A. $\frac{17}{25}$
• B. $\frac{6}{25}$
• C. $\frac{7}{25}$
• D. $\frac{7}{24}$

Answer 1

The correct option is C $\frac{7}{25}$

Total number of parts = 25

Number of non-shaded parts = 7
$\text{Non - shaded fraction}=\frac{\text{Number of parts that are not shaded}}{\text{Number of parts into which the whole is divided}}$
$\Rightarrow \text{Non - shaded fraction}=\frac{7}{25}$

$\therefore$ The fraction represented by the non - shaded portion is $\frac{7}{25}$.
