Question

show 85% in three ways. to start, shade 85% of the grid. click and drag to shade. write 85% as a decimal. 85% = \boxed{} write 85% as a fraction in simplest form. 85% = \boxed{}

Explanation:

Step1: Convert percent to decimal

Divide by 100: $85\% = \frac{85}{100} = 0.85$

Step2: Simplify the fraction

Find GCD of 85 and 100 (GCD=5), divide numerator/denominator by 5: $\frac{85\div5}{100\div5} = \frac{17}{20}$

Step3: Verify grid shading

Total grid squares: $10\times10=100$. 85% of 100 is 85, so shade 85 squares.

Answer:

Shade 85 out of the 100 grid squares.
$85\% = 0.85$
$85\% = \frac{17}{20}$
