Step-by-step explanation:
Image description: A pie that is split into 5 pieces, similar to the rectangle in the question, except no region is shaded.
1. You see that there are 5 quadrants in the rectangle.
2. You count how many quadrants of the rectangle are shaded in.
3. In the following image there are two shaded quadrants which means 2 out of the 5 quadrants are shaded.
4. In fractions this would equate to 2/5, but this question is asking for percantages.
5. Most of the time percantages are out of 100%, so that is what we'll be basing our answer off of.
6. First we can start with the totoal amount of quadrants, which is 5, and we will divide the 100% by 5, which is 20%.
7. Because there are two shaded areas we would equate each shaded quadrant to 20%, and because there are 2 shaded quadrants we would multiply the number of shaded quadrants by 20%.
8. So we would get 20x2=40
9. By these calculations we would get 40%
10. 40% of the rectangle is shaded.
