Ok, @trinajoy what do you think is the answer?

Answer 5

@trinajoy you first want to start off by counting how many tiles there is.

Answer 6

There are 12 tiles. the first question is to write a fraction, 3/12. Do you understand why?

Answer 7

Answer 8

Do you understand? @trinajoy

Answer 9

@trinajoy there are 3 grey tiles and 12 in total. So that is why it's 3/12.

Answer 10

@trinajoy The second question in to write the answer in a decimal. So divide 3/12

Answer 16

To create a fraction, what you're going to do is count all the tiles that are shaded, and then count how many tiles there are all together. The numerator will be the amount of shaded tiles and the denominator will be the amount of tiles all together.

Answer 17

So what would that fraction look like?

Answer 18

Finally lol

Answer 19

ok 3/12

Answer 20

@k_lynn

Answer 21

Yep, you got it :D. Now you need to create your decimal version of that fraction. That fraction sign also means to divide, so to figure out what the decimal form of 3/12 is, you just divide \[3\div12\]

Answer 22

0.25?

Answer 23

Know were good lol

Answer 24

Fabulous! XD now all we need to do is find the percentage. Since percentages are out of 100, all we need to do is multiply 0.25 by 100, and then you'll get your percent! :D

Answer 25

25?

Answer 26

Yep, you got it! 25%. So your answers are:

Fraction: \[\frac{ 3 }{ 12 }\]Decimal:\[.25\]Percentage:25%

Answer 27

wait this might be easier
