Question

Choose the option that correctly represents the shaded region as a fraction, decimal and percentage.

• A. $\frac{6}{25},0.24,24\%$
• B. $\frac{6}{25},0.30,30\%$
• C. $\frac{1}{4},0.25,25\%$
• D. $\frac{1}{8},0.24,24\%$

Answer 1

The correct option is A

$\frac{6}{25},0.24,24\%$

6 squares are shaded out of 25.

$\text{Fraction}=\frac{6}{25}$

We need to make convert the denominator to 100 to write it as a percent.
$\therefore \left(\frac{6}{25}\right)\times \frac{4}{4}=\frac{24}{100}=24\%$

$\frac{24}{100}=0.24$
(shifting the decimal point 2 places to the left)
