Question

What decimal does the shaded region represent?

• A. 0.8
• B. 0.4
• C. 0.6
• D. 0.9

Answer 1

The correct option is B

0.4

The given figure is divided into 5 parts and 2 parts of it are shaded.

$\therefore \text{Fraction}=\frac{2}{5}$

Multiply both the numerator and the denominator of $\frac{2}{5}$ by 2 to make the denominator 10.

i.e., $\frac{2\times 2}{5\times 2}=\frac{4}{10}=0.4$
