Answer 1

Fraction = 87 over 100 or
`(87)/(100)` The decimal = 0.87

Step-by-step explanation:

first what I did was I counted all of the total squares which was 100 then I counted all of the Shaded squares which was 87.then I put 87 over 100 as a fraction and try to figure out if that was its simplest form which it was. for the decimal all I had to do was take 87 and divide it by 100

Answer 2

fraction: 87/100. decimal: 0.87

Explanation:

Because there are 10 rows and 10 colums, you know the denominator is 100 because it is 10x10.

Then I counted the first 80 blue squares and knew it was 80 because it is 8 rows and 10 colums. Then I added 7 blue squares because that is above the 80, and 80+7 is 87. So, the fraction is 87/100.

100ths places in decimals is two places, so the 87 would be in the first two decimal places, so it would be 0.87.

Sorry if this is confusing, and I hope it helps :)
