Answer 1

7 squares are shaded

Answer 2

umm, is all the squares equal?

Answer 3

and there are 12 all up?

Answer 4

yes they are equal and yes there is 12 in total

Answer 5

ok so there are 12 and umm is that white line just to show were the border is?

Answer 6

yeah i had to draw it so you can see it wasnt together

Answer 7

ok so half of 12 is 6 right?

Answer 8

so it can't be the 50%

Answer 9

if you double the 1/3% then it's 2/6 and that's less than half

Answer 10

yes

Answer 11

so it has to be 2/3% because that's the only one left

Answer 12

but that isnt one of the multiple choices

Answer 13

b? it says 41 2/3%

Answer 14

but how do you get 43

Answer 15

i mean 41

Answer 16

aren't the options, 3 1/3%
41 2/3%
50%
58 1/3%

Answer 17

Arada you don't work out this sort of question by eliminating options.... You say 5/12 = 0.41666666...... = 41 + 2/3 ..

Answer 18

41+2/3% *
