5 x 5 grid with 6 shaded cells, I need a ratio and a percent.
A. 6/25, 30%
B. 3/50, 6%
C. 6/25, 24%
D. 3/10, 30%
Help ASAP?
First decide how many cells there are all together (5 * 5 = ?)
Then divide 6 by the total number of cells.
Multiply the quotient by 100 to find the percent.
Not a lot of help.
It’s D!
Sure! Let's break down the problem step by step.
To find the ratio, we need to compare the number of shaded cells to the total number of cells in the 5x5 grid. The grid contains 25 cells in total (5 rows multiplied by 5 columns).
Given that there are 6 shaded cells, the ratio would be 6:25 (shaded cells : total cells).
Now let's find the percentage. To do this, we divide the number of shaded cells by the total number of cells and multiply by 100.
Using the formula (shaded cells / total cells) * 100, we get (6 / 25) * 100 = 24%.
Therefore, the correct answer is option C: 6/25, 24%.
