For example shade in 20% of this grid:

For example shade in 20% of this grid:

First count the number of squares.

For example shade in 20% of this grid:

First count the number of squares. There are 30 in this example.

For example shade in 20% of this grid:

First count the number of squares. There are 30 in this example.You therefore need to find 20% of 30

For example shade in 20% of this grid:

First count the number of squares. There are 30 in this example.You therefore need to find 20% of 30To find 20% of 30, you need to remember that 20% is equivalent to 1/5

For example shade in 20% of this grid:

First count the number of squares. There are 30 in this example.You therefore need to find 20% of 30To find 20% of 30, you need to remember that 20% is equivalent to 1/5So 20% of 30 = 1/5 of 30

For example shade in 20% of this grid:

First count the number of squares. There are 30 in this example.You therefore need to find 20% of 30To find 20% of 30, you need to remember that 20% is equivalent to 1/5So 20% of 30 = 1/5 of 30 = 6

For example shade in 20% of this grid:

First count the number of squares. There are 30 in this example.You therefore need to find 20% of 30To find 20% of 30, you need to remember that 20% is equivalent to 1/5So 20% of 30 = 1/5 of 30 = 6Therefore you need to shade in 6 of the squares.

For example shade in 20% of this grid:

First count the number of squares. There are 30 in this example.You therefore need to find 20% of 30To find 20% of 30, you need to remember that 20% is equivalent to 1/5So 20% of 30 = 1/5 of 30 = 6Therefore you need to shade in 6 of the squares.

Another example would be, shade in 25% of this grid:

Another example would be, shade in 25% of this grid:

First count the number of squares. There are 24 in this example.

Another example would be, shade in 25% of this grid:

First count the number of squares. There are 24 in this example.You therefore need to find 25% of 24

Another example would be, shade in 25% of this grid:

First count the number of squares. There are 24 in this example.You therefore need to find 25% of 24To find 25% of 24, you need to remember that 25% is equivalent to 1/4

Another example would be, shade in 25% of this grid:

First count the number of squares. There are 24 in this example.You therefore need to find 25% of 24To find 25% of 24, you need to remember that 25% is equivalent to 1/4So 25% of 24 = 1/4 of 24

Another example would be, shade in 25% of this grid:

First count the number of squares. There are 24 in this example.You therefore need to find 25% of 24To find 25% of 24, you need to remember that 25% is equivalent to 1/4So 25% of 24 = 1/4 of 24 = 6
