What Percentage Of The Shape Is Purple Write Your Answer Using A Percent Sign class=

Answer :

First, we see a rectangle shape with little squares in it. The length is 5 and the width is 4. If we multiply them, we get 20 square units. However, we will use the 20 to solve the question. Also, we see that there are only 3 squares.

3/20

Let's divide the fraction. 3 / 20 is 0.15. We result with 0.15. Now, we multiply  the decimal by 100 to get a percent; we are converting from decimal to percent. As a result, we get 15% as our answer.

3/20 = 0.15 x 100 = 15%
