Answer:
Option B. [tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
The picture of the question and the options in the attached figure
we know that
The dimensions of the piece of paper is 12 inches by 9 inches
The total area is (12)(9)=108 square inches
Frankie folded a piece of paper into three sections
The dimensions of each piece of paper is
4 inches by 9 inches
The area of each piece of paper is
(4)(9)=36 square inches
therefore
To find out what fraction of the total area is each section , divided the area of one section by the total area
so
[tex]\frac{36}{108}[/tex]
Simplify
[tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex]
