Grid Fraction Problem: Calculate the Blue Shaded Square's Ratio

The large square grid is divided into smaller squares. Let's determine how many small squares there are in total.

• Step 1: Count the number of small squares along one side. From the SVG image, each side seems to have 10 smaller squares (since each section appears uniform and there are grids within both, rows, and columns).

• Step 2: Calculate the total number of smaller squares in the grid. Since it's a square, the total is $10 \times 10 = 100$ small squares.

• Step 3: Calculate what fraction of the whole one shaded square (the blue one) represents. The shaded area is one of these squares, so it represents $\frac{1}{100}$ of the entire grid.

Therefore, the shaded area represents $0.01$ or $\frac{1}{100}$ of the whole grid.
