Question

the square below represents 1 whole Express the Shaded area as a fraction, a decimal, and a percent of the whole.

Answer 1

As shown in the picture, the square is divided into 100 little squares, 70 of them are shaded.

To represent this as a fraction take the number of shaded squares as the numerator and the number of total squares as the denominator

`(70)/(100)=(7)/(10)`

As a decimal, solve the division that represents the fraction

`(7)/(10)=0.7`

As percent, multiply the decimal by 100

`0.7\cdot100=70`
