Answer:
The total fraction shaded is 1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
Here, we want to know the fraction shaded
As we can see, the box is originally divided into 4
So each of the 4 parts are 1/4
for the first part, we have 4 divisions;
This means each of the divisions with respect to the whole fraction will be 1/4/4 = 1/16
Now, two of these are shaded, making 1/16 and 1/16
Secondly, we have half of the 1/4 : So with respect to the whole, we have 1/4/2 = 1/8
for the third part, the whole 1/4 is shaded
and lastly, we have an unshaded 1/4
so, the total fraction shaded will be ;
1/16 + 1/16 + 1/4 + 1/8
= (1 + 1 + 4 + 2)/16 = 8/16 = 1/2
