Question

Which of the following is the fraction representing the blue region in the given image?

• A. $\frac{1}{2}$
• B. $\frac{4}{8}$
• C. Both $\frac{1}{2}$ and $\frac{4}{8}$
• D. None of these

Answer 1

The correct option is C Both $\frac{1}{2}$ and $\frac{4}{8}$

By rearranging the green and blue blocks, we get the other image as shown here.

In the first image, we can easily identify the fraction of blue blocks as $\frac{4}{8}$.
If we look closely in the second image, half of the region is coloured green and half of it is blue.
So, the fraction representing the blue region in the image can also be stated as $\frac{1}{2}$
