Which figure shows a shape with43 of its area shaded in red?
To solve this problem, follow these steps:
- Step 1: Examine each figure to determine the total number of equal parts.
- Step 2: Identify how many parts are shaded in red for each figure.
- Step 3: Calculate the fraction of the shaded area over the total area for each figure.
- Step 4: Determine which figure has the fraction 43 shaded in red.
Now, let's work through these steps:
Step 1: Upon examining the figures provided:
- Figure A is divided into 4 equal parts, with 1 part shaded.
- Figure B is divided into 4 equal parts, with 2 parts shaded.
- Figure C is divided into 4 equal parts, with 3 parts shaded.
- Figure D is divided into 4 equal parts, with all 4 parts shaded.
Step 2: Calculate the shaded fraction for each figure:
- Figure A: 41 shaded.
- Figure B: 42=21 shaded.
- Figure C: 43 shaded.
- Figure D: 44=1 shaded.
Step 3: Identify which figure has 43 of its area shaded:
- Only Figure C has 43 of its area shaded in red.
Therefore, the solution to the problem is that Figure C correctly shows 43 of its area shaded in red.
