Question

Express the shaded area as a fraction, a decimal, and a percent of the whole.

Answer 1

1/2

0.5

50%

Explanation:

The square is spilt into 2 equal pieces, one out of the 2 is shaded therefore 1/2 is shaded. The decimal to represent the shaded area would be 0.5, as 1 times 1/2 = 0.5. As a percent the shaded area represents 50% as 1/2 times 100 (per cent = per hundred) is equivalent to 50.
