Math Problem Statement

Answer this shape division

Answer this shape division.

Solution

The problem asks you to write the division that corresponds to the shaded parts of the shape.

Analysis:

  1. The shape is divided into 12 equal parts (12 rectangles in total).
  2. 4 parts are shaded.

Division Representation:

The fraction of shaded parts is: Shaded PartsTotal Parts=412\frac{\text{Shaded Parts}}{\text{Total Parts}} = \frac{4}{12}

Simplifying this fraction: 412=13\frac{4}{12} = \frac{1}{3}

Final Division:

The division corresponding to this fraction is: 4÷12=134 \div 12 = \frac{1}{3}

Would you like me to explain this in more detail or show another approach?
