Question

Write the fraction representing the shaded portion in the following figure:

• A. $\frac{9}{12}$
• B. $\frac{3}{12}$
• C. $\frac{3}{10}$
• D. $\frac{7}{10}$

Answer 1

The correct option is B $\left(\frac{3}{12}\right)$

The given figure has $12$ identical shapes, out of which $3$ are shaded.

Total number of shapes $=12$
Number of shaded shapes $=3$
Therefore, the fraction of shaded portion = $\frac{\text{Number of shaded shapes}}{\text{Total number of shapes}}=\frac{3}{12}$

Hence, the fraction representing the shaded portion is $\frac{3}{12}$.
