Question

Can you help me with this please

Answer 1

Answer:
`(2)/(5)` x
`(4)/(5)` =
`(8)/(25)`

Explanation:

We can do this by counting the boxes for both the Width and the Length.

If we look at the width of these boxes (horizontally) then we see that there are 5 boxes all together, with 2 shaded green.

this means that 2 out of 5 of the boxes are shaded for the width, giving us the fraction:
`(2)/(5)`

Then for the Length (vertically) we see that there are also 5 boxes, but this time 4 are shaded. This gives us the fraction:
`(4)/(5)`.

Then, to fill the equation in, we do:
`(2)/(5)` x
`(4)/(5)` , which gives us 
`(8)/(25)`

2 x 4 = 8

5 x 5 = 25

To double check this answer, we can count how many boxes are shaded green.

We see that 8 are shaded green, out of the 25 boxes that are there.

Therefore, giving us a complete answer of:
`(2)/(5)` x
`(4)/(5)` =
`(8)/(25)`
