write a ratio and percent for the shaded area.
total of 20 squares 6 shaded squares
A. 6/25 30%
B. 3/50 6%
C.6/25 24%
D.3/10 30%
Could you explain how you got the answer I think it is D
6/20 = 3/10 = 0.3 = 30%.
3/10 was obtained by dividing the numerator and denominator by 2.
Ah, Thank You.
You are welcome!
To find the ratio of shaded squares to the total number of squares, we divide the number of shaded squares by the total number of squares.
In this case, there are 6 shaded squares out of a total of 20 squares, so the ratio of shaded squares to total squares is 6/20.
To convert this ratio to a percentage, we multiply the ratio by 100.
6/20 * 100 = 30%
Therefore, the ratio and percentage for the shaded area is 6/25 and 30%.
Option A (6/25, 30%) is the correct answer. Option D (3/10, 30%) is incorrect because the number of shaded squares is not 3, but rather 6.
