Question

What fraction of the figure is shaded in red?​

• A. $\frac{1}{3}$
• B. $\frac{1}{5}$
• C. $\frac{2}{5}$
• D. $\frac{2}{15}$

Answer 1

The correct option is D $\frac{2}{15}$

Here the figure is given in the form of many rectangles
We can see the figure is divided into three equal rectangles but one of the rectangles is divided further into 5 parts.
Since, we want the fraction of the shaded part, we need all the parts to be equal, so let’s divide the other two rectangles also into 5 parts each.



Total rectangles given in the figure is 15.
Rectangle shaded by red = 2.
Fraction = $\frac{numberofshadedpart}{whole}$ = $\frac{2}{15}$
