Question

What is the fraction represented by the blue shaded region?

• A. $\frac{1}{2}$
• B. $\frac{1}{8}$
• C. $\frac{1}{4}$
• D. $\frac{1}{6}$

Answer 1

The correct option is B $\frac{1}{8}$

Total number of parts = 8
Number of blue shaded parts = 1
$\therefore \text{Fraction of blue shaded region}=\frac{\text{Number of blue shaded parts}}{\text{Total number of parts}}=\frac{1}{8}$

$\therefore \text{The fraction represented by the}\text{blue shaded region is}\frac{1}{8}.$
