• A. $1\frac{2}{9}$
• B. $1\frac{1}{9}$
• C. $1\frac{3}{9}$
• D. $1\frac{5}{9}$

Answer 1

The correct option is A $1\frac{2}{9}$

Total parts in each square $=9$

Shaded parts in first $=5$

Fraction of shaded part $=\frac{5}{9}$

Shaded part in second $=6$

Fraction of shaded part $=\frac{6}{9}$

Total shaded part $=\frac{5}{9}+\frac{6}{9}=1\frac{2}{9}$
