Answer: A) 2/3 is shaded. B) 66.67% is shaded.

Explanation:

The whole big triangle holds 9 total triangles in it.

Out of the 9 triangles 6 of them are shaded so the fraction will be 6/9 which reduces to 2/3.

Now convert 2/3 to a decimal to find what percentage is shaded.

2/3 = 0.6666...

0.6666 * 100 = 66.666..

66.666 as a percent is 66.67%
