To find the decimal representation of the black stripes on the shirt, we need to divide the number of black stripes by the total number of stripes and express it as a decimal.
The number of black stripes is given as 40, and the total number of stripes is given as 80.
To calculate the decimal representation, we can divide the number of black stripes by the total number of stripes:
Decimal representation = Number of black stripes / Total number of stripes
Decimal representation = 40 / 80
Simplifying this fraction, we get:
Decimal representation = 1/2
Therefore, the decimal representation of the black stripes on the shirt is 0.5.
