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 $\frac{1}{8}$

There are total $8$ parts out of which only $1$ is shaded.
$\text{Shaded fraction}=\frac{\text{Number of parts shaded}}{\text{Total number of parts}}$
$\Rightarrow \text{Shaded fraction}=\frac{1}{8}$
$\therefore$ The fraction represented by the shaded portion is $\frac{1}{8}$.
