What part of the whole does the shaded part (blue) represent?
To solve this problem, we will follow these steps:
Now, let's execute these steps:
Step 1: By examining the diagram, we observe there are 10 equal vertical sections in total.
Step 2: Of these sections, 2 are shaded blue.
Step 3: The fraction of the shaded area compared to the whole is .
Step 4: Simplify to , but since we are asked to express it as part of 10 parts, remains an accurate choice. The decimal equivalent is .
Therefore, the shaded part of the whole is or .
Among the given choices, the correct answer is: or .
or
Write the following fraction as a decimal:
\( \frac{5}{100}= \)
You can simplify it! Both and are correct. The question asks for the fraction based on the 10-part grid, so directly shows what you see.
A section is shaded if it's completely filled with the blue color. Look carefully at the grid - only count sections that are entirely blue, not partially colored or just outlined.
They represent the same value in different forms! is the fraction form, while 0.2 is the decimal form. Both are correct ways to express the same part of the whole.
Yes! In fractions representing parts of a whole, the numerator (top number) is always the number of parts you're focusing on, and the denominator (bottom number) is the total number of equal parts.
Focus only on the specific color mentioned in the question. If it asks for 'blue-shaded,' count only the blue sections. Other colors would be counted separately or ignored depending on what the question asks.
