Question

Write a ratio, in the simplest form and a percent for the shaded area (there's a 5x4 box and 6 cubes are shaded)

Answer 1

Answer:

$\%Percent = 30 \%$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$Shaded = 6\ cubes$

$Box = 5\ x\ 4$

Required

Determine the percentage of the shaded cubes

First, we calculate the number of boxes:

$Box = 5\ x\ 4$

Express as multiplication

$Box = 5\ *\ 4$

$Box = 20$

This implies that there are 20 cubes in the box.

The percentage of the shaded cubes is:

$\%Percent = \frac{Shaded}{Box} * 100\%$

$\%Percent = \frac{6}{20} * 100\%$

$\%Percent = \frac{6* 100}{20} \%$

$\%Percent = \frac{600}{20} \%$

$\%Percent = 30 \%$

30% were shaded
