Question

Which of the following decimals represents the shaded region of the given circle?

• A. $0.3$
• B. $0.275$
• C. $0.35$
• D. $0.375$

Answer 1

The correct option is D $0.375$

The given figure is divided into $8$ parts, out of which, $3$ are shaded.
Fraction $=\frac{3}{8}$
We need to multiply the numerator and denominator by $125$ (to make the denominator a power of $10$).
$\frac{3\times 125}{8\times 125}=\frac{375}{1000}=0.375$
