1/100

Step-by-step explanation:

To get the fraction of the square shaded we would use the rows and columns

For the row:

The total on the 1st row = 1

The first row is divided into 10. This means each box in the first row: 1/10

One of the box is shaded. This implies the fraction shaded in the first row is 1/10

For the column:

The total on the 1st column = 1

The column is also divided into 10 box which means each box represent 1/10

Since one of the box in the column is shaded, it represent 1/10

Fraction of the whole square shaded = fraction shaded in the row × fraction shaded in the column

Fraction of the whole square shaded = 1/10 × 1/10

Fraction of the whole square shaded = 1/100
