Question

I dart is thrown at the board shown. It hits the board at a random point. Find the probability that it will land in the shaded region. Round to the nearest percent

Answer 1

Since the shape is split up into five segments, and two out of five are shaded, the chances of hitting a shaded part would be 2/5. Simply translate that into percent.

Answer 2

2/5 divided to get a percent is 0.4 which is 40%
