Convert a Semicircle Drawing to Its Fraction Representation

To solve this problem, we need to understand the fraction represented by the shaded area in the given drawing.

The circle in the drawing is divided into four equal parts. Out of these, three parts are shaded. To express this scenario as a fraction, we count the parts:

• Total Parts: The circle is divided into 4 equal segments, so the denominator of the fraction is 4.
• Shaded Parts: There are 3 shaded segments, so the numerator of the fraction is 3.

The fraction that represents the shaded area is therefore given by:

$\frac{3}{4}$

Thus, the solution to this problem is $\frac{3}{4}$. This matches choice number 4 from the given options.

Therefore, the fraction represented by the shaded area is $\frac{3}{4}$.
