Let’s solve each part step by step.
Each grid has 10 equal squares (2 rows × 5 columns = 10 total).
We count how many are shaded — that gives us the numerator for the fraction, and the denominator is always 10.
Then we convert that fraction to a decimal by putting the number of shaded parts in the tenths place.
---
First Grid:
Shaded squares: 4
Total squares: 10
→ Fraction: 4/10
→ Decimal: 0.4
---
Second Grid:
Shaded squares: 5
Total squares: 10
→ Fraction: 5/10
→ Decimal: 0.5
---
Third Grid:
Shaded squares: 5
Wait — let’s count again carefully:
Top row: 3 shaded
Bottom row: 2 shaded
Total = 3 + 2 = 5
→ Fraction: 5/10
→ Decimal: 0.5
Wait — actually, looking again at the third grid:
Top row: first 3 boxes shaded → 3
Bottom row: first 2 boxes shaded → 2
Total shaded = 5 → yes, correct.
But wait — let me double-check all grids visually as described:
Grid 1: Top-left 2x2 block shaded? That’s 4 squares → correct.
Grid 2: Entire top row shaded → 5 squares → correct.
Grid 3: Top row: 3 shaded; bottom row: 2 shaded → total 5 → correct.
So all three are:
1. 4/10 → 0.4
2. 5/10 → 0.5
3. 5/10 → 0.5
Wait — but let me check the third grid again based on your image description.
Actually, re-examining the original problem layout:
The third grid shows:
Top row: [shaded][shaded][shaded][white][white] → 3
Bottom row: [shaded][shaded][white][white][white] → 2
Total = 5 → still 5/10 → 0.5
Yes, confirmed.
Final Answer:
Fraction 4/10 Decimal 0.4
Fraction 5/10 Decimal 0.5
Fraction 5/10 Decimal 0.5
