If you subtract 23 by 17 it means 23-17=6 and 6 is the SHADED area. And FYI I have my worksheet AND my teacher marked mine correct.

Person, you might have to check again with your teacher. In my opinion, Zhiyee’s illustrations quite clearly show that 6u represent 2 shaded parts and the answer is 3:23.

the important phrase here is ‘before overlapping’. 6u would be the shaded area if 23u was just the area of the figure which it is not.
