Answer:

The blue portion of the flag is actually 2/6 or 1/3 of the flag

Step-by-step explanation:

If you look at the size of the blue portion of the line it takes up twice the space as the white part. Imagine a small line drawn through the middle of the blue rectangle, now you can see that the flag is split up into 6 parts, rather then 5! Since we now have 2/6 of the flag being taken up by blue, that can be reduced down to 1/3 of the flag covered in blue.
