If you have a rectangle & 3/8 of it is shaded, what percentage of the rectangle is shaded?

Answer 1

Three divided by eight equals zero point three seventy five. Decimal equivelant.

3 / 8 = .0.375

Multiply 0.375 times 100 = 37.5 and attach the % sign.

0.375 x 100 = 37.5 %

The answer is 37.5 %

- - - - - - - s-

Answer 2

These answers are good, and they will help but I'd like to add that to change .375 to a percentage you do not have to mulitply by 100. That's the way it is done but it's a lot quicker just to move the decimal point two places to the right (no thinking involved, just move it, it's easier). If you really want to get good at math check out some of the "For Dummies" books (i.e. Algebra for Dummies), they sport some really really great and useful tips to get through equations quickly and their books are in a real easy-read format that actually makes it a little less boring.
Good luck with your learning adventures.

Answer 3

to turn fraction into a percent you divide the fraction out so:

3/8 = .375

then multiply by 100 to get percentage

.375x100 = 37.5%

Answer 4

3 squares with 10 triangles contained interior each and every body. 3 * 10 = 30 triangles 29 of them are shaded 29/30 of the triangles are shaded, and a million/30 of the triangles are literally not shaded.

Answer 5

37.5%
take 3/8 and divide the numerator(3) by the denometer(8) and you would get 0.375 and since percents are hundreths of a whole number (ex 27% would equal 0.27) you would get 37.5%

Answer 6

Multiply the fraction by 100% and you get your answer. Fraction/percentage/ratio all serve to show the proportion between two distinctions. So i guess there's nothing difficult about that.

Hope this helps=)

Answer 7

multiply 3/8 by 100
(3/8)(100) = 37.5

ANSWER
37.5%

Answer 8

1/8 = 12.5%
so
3/8 = 37.5%

Answer 9

x/100=3/8
x=100*3/8
x=37.5%

Answer 10

37.5% of therectangle will be covered
