Answer:

C) 5/8

Step-by-step explanation:

By calculation:

We need to find 3/4 of 5/6.  To do this, simply multiply and simplify:

[tex]\dfrac34 \times \dfrac56=\dfrac{3 \times 5}{4 \times 6}=\dfrac{15}{24}=\dfrac58[/tex]

By using the model:

Total number of squares = 6 × 4 = 24

Total number of blue squares = 5 × 3 = 15

Therefore, the fraction of blue square is [tex]\dfrac{15}{24}[/tex]

We can simplify this fraction by dividing both the numerator and denominator by 3:

[tex]\dfrac{15 \div 3}{24 \div 3}=\dfrac58[/tex]
