Question

The large rectangle below represents one whole.

What percent is represented by the shaded area?

Answer 1

40%

Explanation:

so have 5 rectangles in a whole.

we also have 2 shaded potions in that whole which represents 2/5 shaded potions.

2/5 in fraction =0.4

Now Change 0.4 to percentage by multiplying 0.4 by 100

0.4 x 100 = 40

Therefore the percentage represented by the shaded area is 40%

Hope this helps.

Good luck ✅.
