5% =

Explanation:

Step1: Correct the decimal conversion

A percent means per 100, so divide by 100.
$5\% = \frac{5}{100} = 0.05$

Step2: Simplify the fraction form

Reduce $\frac{5}{100}$ by dividing numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor (5).
$\frac{5 \div 5}{100 \div 5} = \frac{1}{20}$

Step3: Confirm grid shading

The grid has 100 squares, 5% is 5 squares, which is already shaded correctly.
