if there was a square split into 4 parts and only three squares are shaded what percent is shaded?

1 answer

If you have a square that is divided into 4 equal parts, and 3 of those parts are shaded, then to find the percentage of the square that is shaded, you can use the following calculation:

  1. Determine the number of parts shaded: 3
  2. Determine the total number of parts: 4
  3. Calculate the fraction that is shaded: \( \frac{3}{4} \)
  4. Convert the fraction to a percentage: \[ \left( \frac{3}{4} \right) \times 100 = 75% \]

So, 75% of the square is shaded.
