Question 2a)Explain how to show more then 100% using 100 squares.b)Explain how to fill in less then 1% using 100 squares. a)To fill in a percent more then 100 you simply use more then one square when filling it in.eg: for 130% you would fill in 100 squares on one of the 100 square sheets and then 30 of the 100 squares on a second square

b) To fill in a percent less the 100 you simply only fill a portion of 1 of the 100 possible squares. 6. Represent each percent on a grida) 125%b) 10 1/2%c) 0.4%d) 262%e) 7/8%f) 45.6% I scanned my answers for this one sorry there a little messy.

11. The land of Alberta is 113% the land of Saskatchewan. Show how the land area compares using hundred grids. A simple grid can show the difference in land:Saskatchewan Alberta

(My scanner stoped working after that last scan so i just took this picture from mytextbook.ca)
 * 14. a)** If 200 squares were used instead of 100 squares to represent 100%, how would you show 0.25%?
 * b)** If 400 squares were used instead of 100 squares to represent 100%, how would you show 0.75%?

a) If we used 200 squares instead of 100 we would need to double the numerator because the denominator (100) was doubled so when representing what would normally appear as 1/4 would now appear as 1/2 but still be equal to 1/4. b) If we used 400 squares instead of 100 we would need to quadruple the numerator because the denominator (100) was quadrupled so when representing what would normally appear as 3/4 would now appear as 3 but still be equal to 3/4. And that was my (slightly late) scribepost I hope it was informative.
