Question

Shade 25 % of a circle

Answer 1

25 % of a circle is the same as 25/100 and that equals 1/4 when simplified.

So to shade 1/4 of a circle, divide the circle into 4 equal pieces (by dividing the circle in half, then half the two halves). Then, you just need to shade in 1 of the 4 parts.

Answer 2

Since percent means 'out of 100', 25% would be
`(25)/(100)` as a fraction. Further simplified,
`(25)/(100)` is equal to
`(1)/(4)`

So, 25% of a circle is equal to
`(1)/(4)`

This means that 1 out of the 4 parts is shaded.

Thanks!
