Well, darling, if you shaded all but three eighths of the rectangle, then the shaded area is 5/8 of the total rectangle. To find the percentage of the rectangle that is not shaded, you subtract the shaded area from 100%. So, 100% - 62.5% (5/8 as a percentage) = 37.5%. Voilà, 37.5% of the rectangle is not shaded.
75% shaded; 25% unshaded
337.5%

No.

It's greater because if you draw to thin rectangles and divide one into tenths and one into eighths. First color in three eighths. Then in the other rectangle color in eight tenths. Then what shaded rectangle has the greatest amount. The One with the greatest shaded amount is larger so so... eight tenths is greater then three eighths.I hope that helped :)
