Answer:
Solution
The denominator is
<spanid="MathJax−Element−22−Frame"class="mjx−chtmlMathJaxCHTML"style="box−sizing:inherit;padding:1px0px;margin:0px;font−size:17.44px;vertical−align:baseline;background:transparent;border:0px;outline:0px;display:inline−block;line−height:0;text−indent:0px;text−align:left;text−transform:none;font−style:normal;font−weight:normal;letter−spacing:normal;word−wrap:normal;word−spacing:normal;white−space:nowrap;float:none;direction:ltr;max−width:none;max−height:none;min−width:0px;min−height:0px;position:relative;"tabindex="0"role="presentation"data−mathml="<mathxmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"><mn>4</mn>"><spanid="MJXc−Node−134"class="mjx−math"aria−hidden="true"><spanid="MJXc−Node−135"class="mjx−mrow"><spanid="MJXc−Node−136"class="mjx−mn"><spanclass="mjx−charMJXc−TeX−main−R">4, so we divide the circle into four equal parts ⓐ.
The numerator is
3, so we shade three of the four parts ⓑ.
/frac34 of the circle is shaded.
