Question

choose the correct answer. what fraction is modeled below? image of a square divided into 4 triangles (3 red, 1 white) options: 3/4, 3/1, 1/3, 4/3

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze the square's division

The square is divided into 4 equal triangular parts (since the diagonals of a square divide it into 4 congruent triangles).

Step2: Count the shaded parts

Out of these 4 equal parts, 3 parts are shaded (red) and 1 part is unshaded (white).

Step3: Determine the fraction

A fraction is represented as $\frac{\text{Number of shaded parts}}{\text{Total number of parts}}$. So here, the number of shaded parts is 3 and the total number of parts is 4. Thus, the fraction is $\frac{3}{4}$.

Answer:

A. 3/4
