Shade 25 % of a circle
25 % of a circle is the same as 25/100 and that equals 1/4 when simplified.
So to shade 1/4 of a circle, divide the circle into 4 equal pieces (by dividing the circle in half, then half the two halves). Then, you just need to shade in 1 of the 4 parts.
Since percent means 'out of 100', 25% would be \(\frac{25}{100}\) as a fraction. Further simplified, \(\frac{25}{100}\) is equal to \(\frac{1}{4}\)
So, 25% of a circle is equal to \(\frac{1}{4}\)
This means that 1 out of the 4 parts is shaded.
Thanks!
