Answer:
2/9 square yard
Step-by-step explanation:
You can see that the 1-yard square is divided into 18 rectangle. Of those, 4 are colored, so the fraction of the area that is colored is 4/18 square yard.
That fraction can be reduced by dividing 2 from each of those even numbers:
4/18 square yard = 2/9 square yard
The shaded area is 2/9 square yard.
