Missy divided her scrapbook page into sections to be decorated Each section she decorated was either 1/6 or 1/2 of the page The shaded parts of the figure show the sections Missy decorated Which of the following equations represents the total fraction of the page that Missy decorated?
A.1/4+1/4+!/4=3/4
B.1/3+!/2=25
C.1/6+1/6+1/2=5/6
D.1/4+1/4+1/2=1
C?
Right.

A?
No. Try again.
Right! :-)
To determine the total fraction of the page that Missy decorated, we need to add up the fractions representing each section she decorated.
Looking at the shaded parts of the figure, we can see that there are three sections marked: 1/6, 1/6, and 1/2.
To find the total fraction, we add these fractions together:
1/6 + 1/6 + 1/2 = 2/6 + 2/6 + 3/6 = 7/6
However, fractions cannot be more than 1 whole. Therefore, we simplify by recognizing that 7/6 can be simplified by dividing both the numerator and denominator by 6:
7/6 ÷ 6/6 = 7/6 × 1/6 = 7/36
Therefore, the correct option is not C, but rather:
A. 1/4 + 1/4 + 1/4 = 3/4
