Q. Each big square below represents one whole. An array with 10 columns and 10 rows that represents 1 whole. 10 rows of 10 are shaded. An array with 10 columns and 10 rows that represents 1 whole. 10 rows of 10 are shaded. An array with 10 columns and 10 rows that represents 1 whole. 1 column of 104 is shaded. An array with 10 columns and 10 rows that represents 1 whole. 1 column of 104 is shaded. What percent is represented by the shaded area?
Arrays Description: We have four arrays, each with 10 columns and 10 rows, representing four wholes. The first two arrays are completely shaded, which means each of them represents 100% shaded area.
Calculate Total Squares: Calculate the total number of squares in one whole array. Since there are 10 columns and 10 rows, the total number of squares in one array is 10×10=100 squares.
Determine Shaded Squares: Determine the number of shaded squares in the third and fourth arrays. Each of these arrays has 1 column of 3 shaded squares, so for each array, there are 3 shaded squares.
Calculate Total Shaded Squares: Calculate the total number of shaded squares in all four arrays. The first two arrays have 100 shaded squares each, and the third and fourth arrays have 3 shaded squares each. So the total shaded squares are 100+100+3+3=206 shaded squares.
Calculate Total Squares in Arrays: Calculate the total number of squares in all four arrays. Since each array has 100 squares and there are four arrays, the total number of squares is 4×100=400 squares.
Determine Shaded Area Percentage: Determine the percentage of the shaded area. The percentage is given by the formula (Total Number of SquaresNumber of Shaded Squares)×100%. So the percentage of the shaded area is (400206)×100%.
Calculate Shaded Area Percentage: Perform the calculation to find the percentage. (206/400)×100%=0.515×100%=51.5%.
