You are required to find the fraction of the rectangle shaded gold in the two rectangles
The fraction that was shaded in the two triangles is 15/8
Each of the rectangles are divided into 8 equal parts
The first rectangle has 8 equal sections
The second rectangle also has 8 equal sections
out of the 8 equal sections in the first rectangle, 8 was shaded gold
Then, we have 8/8 shaded = 1 whole
out of the 8 equal sections in the second rectangle, 7 was shaded gold
Then, we have 7/8 shaded
Improper fraction is a fraction in which the numerator (top number) is greater than or equal to the denominator (down number)
Therefore, rectangle 1 + rectangle 2
= 8/8 + 7/8
= (8+7) / 8
= 15/8
