The two shadings divide one rectangle into fourths by columns and thirds by rows. We’ll identify the crosshatched overlap as a fraction of a fraction, translate that relationship into multiplication, count overlap cells out of all equal cells, and simplify. The overlap—not the separate shaded regions—represents the product.
