Question

What decimal does the shaded region represent?

• A. 0.75
• B. 0.5
• C. 0.65
• D. 0.9

Answer 1

The correct option is A

0.75

The given figure has a circle of four equal parts and 3 of it are shaded.

$\therefore \text{Fraction represented}=\frac{3}{4}$

Multiplying the numerator and denominator of $\frac{3}{4}$ by 25, we have
$\frac{3\times 25}{4\times 25}=\frac{75}{100}=\mathrm{0.75.}$

$\therefore$ The decimal represented by the shaded region is 0.75.
