Answer 2

Fraction: 1/2, Decimal: 0.5, Percentage = 50%

• In the given question we can see a square divided into equal halves and one of the halves is shaded blue.
• We are asked to represent the shaded area as a fraction, decimal, and percentage.
• As the square is divided into two halves and one of the equal parts is shared, the fraction of the shaded portion = 1/2
• $\frac{1}{2} = 0.5$, so this will be decimal form.
• The percentage = $\frac{parts\ of\ shaded\ portion}{Total\ parts}$ = $\frac{1}{2}$×100 = 50%
• So the fractional expression is 1/2, decimal representation is 0.5, and the percentage of the whole is 50%
