Question

The diagram below is made of smaller, identical pieces. Tell how many pieces you would shade to model the given percent.

Answer 1

You would need to shade 1.5 boxes or 6 pieces to have shaded 25% of the shape.

In total, there are 6 boxes. There are 4 pieces per box. In total, there are 24 pieces.

6/4 = 1.5
24/4 = 6

You would need to shade 1.5 boxes, which is equal to 6 pieces or triangles.
