OpenStudy (erinweeks):

A. 5/8 B. 2/5 C. 3/8 D. 3/5

OpenStudy (erinweeks):

I thought it was D but i got it wrong

hero (hero):

Hint: \[\frac{\text{no. of unshaded squares}}{\text{total squares}}\]

OpenStudy (erinweeks):

40 / 64?

hero (hero):

Yes, now reduce that

OpenStudy (erinweeks):

i got A 5/8

hero (hero):

Good job. At least there's one student here that's teachable.

OpenStudy (erinweeks):

lol thank you so much i was doing it wrong i was dividing the shaded over the unshaded!

hero (hero):

I only needed to give you one hint. Some students, I give two, three, four hints, and they still don't have a clue.

OpenStudy (erinweeks):

Could you help me with one more question?

OpenStudy (erinweeks):

lol well i like to learn (:

hero (hero):

Well, that's good. You're a rare one.
