Answer:
see attached
Step-by-step explanation:
Each grid is divided into units by the dark vertical lines, and into fractions of the last unit by the lighter vertical lines. The left-side figure, for example, shows 3 units, the last of which is divided into fourths (1/4s).
The lighter horizontal lines divide the vertical space into fractions. The left side figure has horizontal lines dividing the vertical space into tenths (1/10s).
Overall, each grid represents multiplication of a mixed number by a fraction.
__
The left-side figure has coloring horizontally covering two full units and 3/4 of the last unit. The coloring vertically occupies 3 of the 10 spaces, Overall, the figure represents multiplication of 2 3/4 by 3/10. That matches the solution required for the question about July rainfall (bottom word problem).
__
The top right figure has coloring horizontally that covers two full units and 2/3 of the last unit. The coloring vertically occupies 2 of the 3 spaces. Overall, the figure represents multiplication of 2 2/3 by 2/3. That matches the solution required for the question about mat area (top word problem).
__
The bottom right figure has coloring horizontally that covers three full units and 1/5 of the last unit. The coloring vertically occupies 1 of the 4 spaces. Overall, the figure represents multiplication of 3 1/5 by 1/4. That matches the solution required for the question about the weight of carrots (middle word problem).

Additional comment
Perhaps the confusing part is that the answer to the question, as represented by the shaded area, is not easy to determine from the figure.
The left-side figure, for example, has a blue shaded area that totals 6/10, and an orange shaded area that totals 9/40. The answer to the question posed is then 6/10 +9/40. The diagram offers no help in figuring the value of that sum, hence the answer to the question.
