Answer:

Step-by-step explanation: Lucy is correct because all of the squares are filled, and therefore instead of 1 square filled, 8 are, this is why lucy is correct :)

Answer:

Lucy is correct.

Explanation:

We can see that the ENTIRE model is shaded ( all eight squares).

So Lucy is correct since she stated that 8 out of 8 (8/8) squares are shaded.

8/8 = 1, so whole.

1/8 would mean that only one out of eight squares is shaded, so Tim is NOT coorrect.
