Answer 1

I have no idea what "there is 6 shaded out of" is supposed to mean.
3/10 = 6/20, but that does not appear to apply.
Why the two grids?

Answer 2

it looks like this #=shaded *= not shaded
# # * * *
# # * * *
# # * * *
* * * * *
does it make more sense?

Answer 3

well, you have 6/20 shaded, so I guess you're ok.
(the grid was 5x4, not 5x5)

Answer 4

is the answer D??
