An artist is using a squared wooden panel to create a piece of art. The panel is divided in smaller squares as shown.

The figure shows a rectangle, divided into 30 squares, with six vertical columns of squares, and five horizontal rows of squares.

The artist paints 35 of the squares in red, then draws golden circles on 13 of the squares to decorate it.

The artist draws the model shown to represent the fraction of the whole wooden panel that is both painted and decorated.

The figure shows a model, that is like the original rectangle, divided into 30 squares, but now some of the squares are shay did and have diagonal lines drawn in them. Four squares are shay did lightly, and have diagonals drawn from the lower left, to the upper right, corner. Twelve squares are shay did lightly, and have diagonals drawn from the upper left, to the lower right, corner. Six squares are shay did darkly, and have diagonals drawn both from the lower left, to the upper right, corner, and from the upper left, to the lower right, corner. Eight squares are unshaded, and have no diagonals drawn.

Which statement is true about the model the artist drew?
