A square is divided into 9 equal squares, out of which 5 squares are shaded. If the shaded portion is expressed in the form of a fraction whose numerator is 25, what will be its denominator ?
45
The shaded portion of the square is \(\frac{5}{9}\), since 5 out of the 9 equal squares are shaded.
To express this fraction with numerator 25, the numerator and denominator must both be multiplied by the same number: \(25 \div 5 = 5\).
Multiplying the denominator 9 by 5 gives \(9 \times 5 = 45\), so \(\frac{5}{9} = \frac{25}{45}\).
Hence, the denominator of the equivalent fraction is 45.
