Question

Which fraction and equivalent decimal correctly shows the ratio of shaded circles to all circles?

Answer 1

Shaded circles = 4
Total circles = 12

$\frac{shaded~circles}{total~circles}$ = $\frac{4}{12}$

$\frac{4}{12}$ as a simplified expression = $\frac{2}{6}$
We can simplify it even more = $\frac{1}{3}$

Fraction = $\frac{1}{3}$

Equivalent decimal = 1 ÷ 3 = 0.33
