From the given data, it is clear that the first area model represents the fraction [tex]\frac{1}{2} .[/tex]
From the second area model,
Total number of regions = 6
Number of shaded regions = 2
The fraction represented by the model = [tex]\frac{2}{6}= \frac{1}{3} .[/tex]
Let's complete the expression.
[tex]\frac{1}{2} (\frac{1}{3} )=\frac{1}{6}[/tex]
