The question is incomplete. The complete question is :
A school in Delhi has its own flag, which is rectangular and divided into 4 rows and 6 columns. The word ‘SCHOOL’ is inscribed in the first row, ‘FLAG’ in the fourth row, and a purple colored rhombus is in the middle, as shown in the given figure.
Based on this picture of the school flag, answer the following questions:
(a) What fraction of the flag has the purple rhombus?
Solution :
From the figure, the total number of squares in the flag of 4 rows and 6 columns are : 4 x 6 = 24 blocks
The purple colored rhombus is made on the half of the 4 blocks.
i.e. [tex]$\frac{1}{2} \times 4 = 2\ \text{blocks}$[/tex]
Therefore, the fraction of the flag that has the purple rhombus is :
[tex]$=\frac{2}{24}$[/tex]
[tex]$=\frac{1}{12}$[/tex]
