Answer 1

0.75

Explanation:

There are total of 8 slices. Only 6 are shaded. Therefore, this can be written in fraction as 6/8 which we can simplify to 3/4.

Multiply both numerator and denominator by 25 to convert the fraction to decimal - that results in 75/100 which can be written in decimal form as 0.75
