To determine whether the shaded portions of the diagrams represent equivalent fractions, we need to compare the values indicated by each diagram. However, since the specific diagrams and their fractional representations are not provided in your question, I can't analyze them directly.

Based on common fraction comparisons:

  • Two fractions are equivalent if they represent the same value.
  • Common pairs of equivalent fractions could be, for example, 1/2 and 2/4, or 4/8 and 1/2.

Given the possible answers:

  • If both diagrams genuinely represent the same numerical value (like both being equal to 1/2 or both being equal to 12), then the correct statement would be that the fractions are equivalent.
  • If they represent different values (like one being 1/2 and the other being 2/5), then the correct statement would indicate that the fractions are not equivalent.

Please reference the specific diagrams or their values to make an accurate assessment regarding their equivalence. If you need help with specific fractions or calculations, please provide more details!
