What is the probability that a randomly chosen point on the grid below is in the blue area?

Question

A grid with 20 squares. 12 are shaded.
Three-fifths
Two-thirds
Three-halves
Five-thirds

Answer 1

To find the probability that a randomly chosen point is in the blue area, we need to divide the number of blue squares by the total number of squares.

There are 12 blue squares out of a total of 20 squares.

So, the probability is:

12/20 = 3/5

Therefore, the probability that a randomly chosen point is in the blue area is three-fifths.
