19. A square is divided into a 100-by-100 grid of smaller squares. If 100
squares are shaded in the top row, 99 in the second row, 98 in the third
row, and so on, what is the ratio of the squares shaded to the squares not
shaded? Write the answer as a fraction in simplest form.
i drew a similar grid, shaded them in in the way you specified, then counted the squares on either side. the i put the numbers in a fraction and simplified
