Answer:

  • 40%

Step-by-step explanation:

The total area is 100%.

It has been divided into 5 equal rectangles.

Each rectangle represents:

  • 100%/5 = 20%

Two rectangles are shaded.

The shaded  area is:

  • 2*20% = 40% of the total

Answer:

40%

Step-by-step explanation:

only 2 out of 5 rectangles are shaded in. We need to find a percent, a percent  means "out of 100" so we need to convert in order to show out of 100.

2/5 (the amount shaded)

We need to make this out of 100, so multiply both numerator and denominator by 20.

2*20 = 40

________

5*20 = 100

Now we have the fraction 40/100

now write this as a percent, 40%

Hope this helps:)
