Answer:
5/8 or 0.625
Step-by-step explanation:
to find the value of the shaded region, we need to first identify how large the entire shape is. so counting all the squares we can see that there are 8 mini squares within the rectangle, so if the whole shape was shaded in, we would have 8/8 squares shaded.
now that we know it is out of 8, you can count how many are actually shaded, so 5.
now the total shaded area is 5/8
5/8 is 0.625 as a decimal so you can put it there on the line
