Explain how you determined the fraction for each section: Answers will vary.</p><p>Possible explanation: </p><p>I divided the painting into the smaller parts based on the size of N and V since they were the smallest area of the painting. There were a total of 32 parts. Then I calculated the areas of the letters based on that information. Example: S = or </p><p>Another Possible Explanation: D is of the picture. S is of D which means it is of , thus equaling . </p><p>S + H = . Therefore, H is because + H = .
