Answer:

[tex]\frac{5}{6}[/tex]

Explanation:

The answer is [tex]\frac{5}{6}[/tex]

The reason is,

[tex]\frac{6}{6} -\frac{1}{6} = \frac{5}{6}[/tex]

If I explain more,

Just think that you have a cake and you cut it to 6 equal pieces. But  after some time there only 1 piece left. Now think how many pieces that you have eaten. You had eaten 5 pieces from 6 pieces.

As the same way, the figure had shaded 5 pieces.

So, you can write a fraction of the figure that have shaded,

[tex]\frac{5}{6}[/tex]

Hope this helps you.

Let me know if you have any other questions :-)
