You are required to find the fraction of the rectangle shaded gold in the two rectangles

The fraction that was shaded in the two triangles is 15/8

Each of the rectangles are divided into 8 equal parts

The first rectangle has 8 equal sections

The second rectangle also has 8 equal sections

out of the 8 equal sections in the first rectangle, 8 was shaded gold

Then, we have 8/8 shaded = 1 whole

out of the 8 equal sections in the second rectangle, 7 was shaded gold

Then, we have 7/8 shaded

Improper fraction is a fraction in which the numerator (top number) is greater than or equal to the denominator (down number)

Therefore, rectangle 1 + rectangle 2

= 8/8 + 7/8

= (8+7) / 8

= 15/8
