Answer:
B
Step-by-step explanation:
We can see that there are 6 boxes out of which 5 are shaded, so the diagram clearly represents:
[tex]\frac{5}{6}[/tex]
So we can eliminate choice A.
Now, looking at choice D, it is same as choice A. We can reduce the fraction by dividing numerator and denominator with 3, so it becomes:
15/3 = 5
and
18/3 = 6
That is also 5/6
So we can eliminate Choice D.
Looking at choice C,
We know when we divide 5 by 6, we have the repeating decimal 0.8333...(3 is repeating). Converting this to percentage is multiplying by 100, so we have:
0.8333... * 100 = 83.333...% (3 repeating)
So we can eliminate choice C.
The correct answer, thus, is B (the correct decimal is 0.833.. (3 repeating), NOT 0.8
Correct answer is B
