Jared is playing a game on a grid that is made up of 25 equally sized squares. some of the squares are shaded. if the probability of picking a point at random in one of the shaded squares is exactly 0.16, how many of the squares are shaded?

There are 4 squares which are shaded.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of equally sized squares = 25

Some of the squares are shaded.

Probability of picking a point at random in one of the shaded squares = 0.16

We need to find the number of squares which are shaded.

Since we know the formula :

Probability of getting a point at random in one of the shaded squares  is given by

So,it becomes,

Hence, there are 4 squares which are shaded.

4 + 5 7/9= 9 7/9
