    Look at the board where each "block" on the board represents a chance for something to happen - the beanbag will hit this part of the board or not. However, you have only so many blocks that have a true opening that will allow the bag to pass through when the it hits that part of the board. This is represented by the shaded area. Therefore, you really need to find the number of "blocks" that allow the bag to go through divided by the number of blocks that are available for the bag to hit (i.e. the entire board). Makes sense?
