answer choices
a. 33.33%
b. 0333
c. 300%
d. 3

Answer 1

The width of the aside should be set to 33.33%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Let F1 = Fixed width of an aside element in a fixed layout

F1 = 300 pixels

Let F2 = Fixed width of its parent element (body)

F2 = 900 pixels

Let W = The width, after converting the page from fixed to fluid layout

W is calculated as F1/F2

W = F1/F2

W = 300 pixels/900 pixels

W = 300/900

W = 0.3333 ---- Convert to percentage

W = 33.33%

Hence, the width of the aside should be set to 33.33%
