Question

A handkerchief is divided into four squares. Each part is to be embroidered with a flower. How much is the design of the flower?

Answer 1

Hint: In this problem, we are given a diagram of a handkerchief which is divided into four squares and each part is to be embroidered with a flower. We have to find how many parts of the flower. We can see that the kerchief is divided into four parts in which we have 3 parts and the design of the flower. We can write them in mathematical terms, i.e. in fraction which will be the answer.

Complete step by step answer:
Here we are given a diagram of a handkerchief which is divided into four squares and each part is to be embroidered with a flower. We have to find how many parts of the flower.

We can see that there are four divisions in which 3 parts have the design of the flower.
We can now write it as 3 out of four, such as
\[\Rightarrow \dfrac{3}{4}\]
Therefore, 3 out of 4 parts have the design of the flower to be embroidered.

Note: We should remember, here we have used the term fraction, which means part of the whole, which is denoted as \[\dfrac{a}{b}\], where b is the total parts and a is the parts used. Here we have 4 divisions in which three are used, then we can write it in the fraction form.
