Question

If you were given a 10 by 10 grid with 64 blocks shaded, how could you represent this using a fraction in simplest form? (1 point)

Answer 1

To represent the shaded blocks in the 10 by 10 grid using a fraction in simplest form, you would divide the number of shaded blocks (64) by the total number of blocks (100).

So, the fraction in simplest form would be:

64/100

This fraction can be simplified by dividing both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common factor, which is 4:

64/100 = 16/25

Therefore, the shaded blocks can be represented as 16/25 in simplest form.
