What happens if part of the fraction is NOT shaded?

If part of a fraction is not shaded, it means that the shaded part represents the numerator (top number) of the fraction, and the unshaded part represents the denominator (bottom number). In fraction representation, the numerator indicates the number of parts that are shaded, while the denominator represents the total number of parts that make up the whole. Therefore, if part of the fraction is not shaded, it implies that those parts are not included in the numerator and are part of the whole represented by the denominator.
