The large rectangle below represents one whole. What percent is represented by the shaded area? (URGENT)

40%

Step-by-step explanation:

The whole rectangle is split into 5 parts. Two out of 5 parts are shaded.

Set up a fraction:

Convert into a decimal:

Multiply the decimal by 100 to get the percent:

So, forty percent of the rectangle is shaded.

Hope this helps.

40%

Step-by-step explanation:

Image description: A pie that is split into 5 pieces, similar to the rectangle in the question, except no region is shaded.

1. You see that there are 5 quadrants in the rectangle.

2. You count how many quadrants of the rectangle are shaded in.

3. In the following image there are two shaded quadrants which means 2 out of the 5 quadrants are shaded.

4. In fractions this would equate to 2/5, but this question is asking for percantages.

5. Most of the time percantages are out of 100%, so that is what we'll be basing our answer off of.

6. First we can start with the totoal amount of quadrants, which is 5, and we will divide the 100% by 5, which is 20%.

7. Because there are two shaded areas we would equate each shaded quadrant to 20%, and because there are 2 shaded quadrants we would multiply the number of shaded quadrants by 20%.

8. So we would get 20x2=40

9. By these calculations we would get 40%

10. 40% of the rectangle is shaded.
