Hello!
Calculating the total area of the rectangle (4x6):
[tex]A=4\cdot6=24[/tex]
Now, the area of the square S (3x3):
[tex]A_{\square}=3\cdot3=9[/tex]
To calculate the probability that the point lands in square S, we just have to write it as a fraction:
[tex]\frac{A_{\square}}{A}=\boxed{\frac{9}{24}}\frac{\div3}{\div3}=\boxed{\frac{3}{8}}[/tex]
In percentage, 3/8 is 37.5%.
Answer:
Alternative C. 3/8.
