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.
You can make a rectangle by using two squares
You haven't said what the 7 eighths are 7 eighths of, and that's going to make all the difference in the answer. -- If it's 7 eighths of a millimeter, then there are 7 eighths of a millimeter in it. -- If it's 7 eighths of an inch, then there are 22.225 millimeters in it. -- If it's 7 eighths of a foot, then 266.7 millimeters. -- If 7 eighths of a meter, then 875 millimeters. -- If 7 eighths of a mile, then 1,408,176 millimeters. -- If 7 eighths of a day, or 7 eighths of a pound, or just plain 7 eighths with no unit, then none.
