Explanation:
Each large square is a 10 × 10 grid, so it has 100 small squares total.
That means each small square = 1/100 = 0.01.

We count how many shaded squares there are in each problem, then multiply by 0.01 (or just write the count as hundredths — e.g., 27 shaded squares = 27/100 = 0.27).

Let’s go one by one:

1. Count shaded squares:
First column: 10 squares
Second column: 4 squares
Total = 10 + 4 = 14 → 14/100 = 0.14

2. Shaded area:
First 5 full columns = 5 × 10 = 50
Sixth column: 6 squares
Total = 50 + 6 = 56 → 0.56

3. Shaded area:
First 7 full columns = 7 × 10 = 70
Eighth column: 8 squares
Total = 70 + 8 = 78 → 0.78

4. Shaded area:
First column: 10
Second column: 10
Third column: 10
Fourth column: 10
Fifth column: 5
Total = 10×4 + 5 = 45 → 0.45

5. Shaded area:
First column: 10
Second column: 10
Third column: 10
Fourth column: 10
Fifth column: 1
Total = 10×4 + 1 = 41 → 0.41

6. Shaded area:
Only bottom-left square is shaded → 1 square → 0.01

7. Shaded area:
First 6 full columns = 6 × 10 = 60
Seventh column: 4 squares
Total = 60 + 4 = 64 → 0.64

8. Shaded area:
Only bottom-left square is shaded → 1 square → 0.01

Double-check each count to be sure:

1. ✔ 14 → 0.14
2. ✔ 56 → 0.56
3. ✔ 78 → 0.78
4. ✔ 45 → 0.45
5. ✔ 41 → 0.41
6. ✔ 1 → 0.01
7. ✔ 64 → 0.64
8. ✔ 1 → 0.01

All correct.

Final Answer:
1. 0.14
2. 0.56
3. 0.78
4. 0.45
5. 0.41
6. 0.01
7. 0.64
8. 0.01
