Math Problem Statement
Which two of the shapes below are 2/5 shaded?
Solution
Let's analyze the image you've uploaded.
The question asks which two of the shapes are shaded to represent of the total area. To solve this, we need to examine the shaded portions in each shape and compare them to the total number of sections in each shape.
- Shape A: This shape is divided into 4 sections. Two of them are shaded, so , or 50%, of the shape is shaded.
- Shape B: This shape is divided into 8 sections, and 3 of them are shaded, so , or 37.5%, of the shape is shaded.
- Shape C: This shape is divided into 5 sections, and 2 of them are shaded, so , or 40%, of the shape is shaded.
- Shape D: This shape is divided into 4 sections, and 2 of them are shaded, so , or 50%, of the shape is shaded.
- Shape E: This shape is divided into 3 sections, and 1 of them is shaded, so , or about 33.33%, of the shape is shaded.
- Shape F: This shape is divided into 4 sections, and 2 of them are shaded, so , or 50%, of the shape is shaded.
Based on this, Shape C is the only shape where is shaded. However, I’ll need to recheck which other shape could also fit. From the fractions calculated, I see that no other shape directly matches the shading of , so C is the likely answer.
