Question

What percent is represented by the shaded area?

Answer

87.5 %

Step-by-step explanation:

since our denominator in 7/8 is 8, we could adjust the fraction to make the denominator 100. To do that, we divide 100 by the denominator:

100 ÷ 8 = 12.5

Once we have that, we can multiple both the numerator and denominator by this multiple:

$\frac{7 ~x~12.5}{8~x~12.5} =\frac{87.5}{100}$

Therefore, I hope this helps!

Take care!

Happy Veterans day!
