1. shade 40% of the grid. show or explain your thinking.

Explanation:

Step1: Count total grid cells

The grid is \(4\times5 = 20\) cells (or check: 4 columns, 5 rows; \(4\times5 = 20\)).

Step2: Calculate 40% of 20

\(40\%=\frac{40}{100}=0.4\), so \(0.4\times20 = 8\) cells.

Step3: Shade 8 cells

Choose 8 cells (e.g., 2 full rows of 4 cells each: \(2\times4 = 8\), or any 8 cells) to shade, representing 40% of 20.

Answer:

Shade 8 cells of the \(4\times5\) grid (e.g., 2 rows of 4 cells each or any 8 individual cells) as \(40\%\) of \(20\) is \(8\).
