Question

Identify the decimal and fraction from the figure given below.

• A. $0.27,\frac{27}{10}$
• B. $0.027,\frac{27}{100}$
• C. $0.27,\frac{27}{100}$
• D. $0.027,\frac{27}{1000}$

Answer 1

The correct option is C

$0.27,\frac{27}{100}$

Total number of parts = 100
Total number of shaded parts = 27

Hence, the fraction of shaded part $=\frac{Totalnumberofshadedparts}{Totalnumberofparts}$
$=\frac{27}{100}$

Hence, the decimal represented by the shaded region is $0.27$ and the required fraction is $\frac{27}{100}$.
