You can put this solution on YOUR website!
From your explanation, your rectangle is split into 7 sections.
\n" ); document.write( "The total is 7.
\n" ); document.write( "Your denominator is 7.
\n" ); document.write( "If you counted all 7 sections, your fraction would be 7/7=1=100%,
\n" ); document.write( "that is it would be the whole rectangle.
\n" ); document.write( "You only want the red sections. How many out of 7 are colored red.
\n" ); document.write( "Number of red sections is 3.
\n" ); document.write( "Fraction of red sections to total sections is 3/7.
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
