Question

What is the fraction represented by the shaded region?

• A. $\frac{1}{3}$
• B. $\frac{1}{4}$
• C. $\frac{1}{8}$
• D. $\frac{1}{2}$

Answer 1

The correct option is C

$\frac{1}{8}$

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

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