Question

Each square on the grid represents 1/5 (one-fifth). What whole number is represented by the whole grid?

a. 4
b. 5
c. 15
d. 25

Answer 1

The whole number represented by the whole grid is 25.

Step-by-step explanation:

The whole number represented by the whole grid can be found by determining how many squares are in the grid. Since each square represents 1/5 (one-fifth), we can determine the number of squares by finding the reciprocal of 1/5, which is 5/1. This means there are 5 squares in a row. Since the grid is a square, there are 5 squares in each row and 5 squares in each column, resulting in a total of 5 x 5 = 25 squares. Therefore, the whole number represented by the whole grid is 25.
