Question

If the large square represents one whole, the colored part represents

• A. 0.5
• B. 0.6
• C. 1
• D. 0.4

Answer 1

The correct option is A 0.5

The large square is divided into 36 squares. Three complete columns have been shaded (i.e. 18 out of 36 squares are shaded).

$\text{A fraction of colored parts}=\frac{18}{36}=\frac{1\times 18}{2\times 18}=\frac{1}{2}=0.5$
So, a decimal number represents the colored part is $0.5$
