The ratio that correctly compares the numbers of shaded sections with the total number of sections is 1) One-half.
What is the ratio?
The ratio refers to the relative size of one quantity, value, or number compared to another.
Ratios are stated in fractions, percentages, or decimals, and can also be stated in standard ratio format (:).
The number of shaded parts of the diagram = 4
The number of white parts = 4
The total number of sections of the diagram = 8
The ratio of shaded parts to the total sections = 4:8 = 1:2
Sum of ratios = 12 (4 + 8)
Thus, we can conclude that the shaded parts of the diagram is one-half of the total sections by interpreting the solved ratio.
