What is 15% of 60

Question

What is 15% of 60?  10 x 10 grid and a tape diagram needs to be shown. Also show step by step how to solve this math question. Thankyou.

Answer 1

15% of 60 = .15x60= 9

on a grid of 10 by 10 squares

60 would take up 60 out of 100 squares

6 by 10 squares, leaving 40 empty or blank

to get 15% take 10% which is .1x60=6

which is one row = 1 by 6 squares

then take another 5% which is 1 by 3 squares

6+3 = 9 squares

10 + 5 = 15 %
