Answer:1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of the wall= length ×width=60×60=3600sq .ft

Area of mirror =length ×width = 60×20=1200sq.ft

To get the fraction the mirror covers of the wall.

To find the fraction

The mirror covers the wall

Area of mirror /area of the wall

1200/3600=1/3

MrRoyal

The area of a shape is the amount of space it occupies.

The mirror covers 1/3 or 33.3% of the wall

The dimension of the gym is:

[tex]\mathbf{Gym = 60, 60}[/tex]

So, the area is:

[tex]\mathbf{Gym = 60 \times 60}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{Gym = 3600}[/tex]

The dimension of the mirror is:

[tex]\mathbf{Mirros= 60, 20}[/tex]

So, the area is:

[tex]\mathbf{Mirror = 60 \times 20}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{Mirror = 1200}[/tex]

The percentage covered by the mirror is:

[tex]\mathbf{\% Covered = \frac{Mirror}{Gym}}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{\% Covered = \frac{1200}{3600}}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{\% Covered = \frac{1}{3}}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{\% Covered = 0.333}[/tex]

Express as percentage

[tex]\mathbf{\% Covered = 33.3\%}[/tex]

Hence, the mirror covers 1/3 or 33.3% of the wall
