The diagram below is divided into equal parts. Which shows the ratio of unshaded sections to shaded sections?

Question

A diagram is divided into 5 white parts and 1 red part.
1 to 6
1 to 5
5 to 6
5 to 1

Answer 1

In the given diagram, there are 5 unshaded (white) parts and 1 shaded (red) part.

To find the ratio of unshaded sections to shaded sections, we compare the number of unshaded parts to the number of shaded parts:

• Unshaded parts: 5
• Shaded parts: 1

The ratio of unshaded sections to shaded sections is therefore:

5 (unshaded) to 1 (shaded), which can be written as:

5 to 1

So, the correct answer is 5 to 1.
