Grid Fraction Analysis: Identifying the 4/7 Shaded Region

Question

What is the marked part?

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

To know what the marked part is, we need to count how many colored squares there are compared to how many squares there are in total.

If we count the colored squares, we see that there are four such squares,

If we count all the squares, we see that there are seven such squares.

Therefore, 4/7 of the squares are marked, and that's the solution!

Answer

47 \frac{4}{7}
