A path of length 38 m consists of 19 unshaded stripes, each of length 1 m, alternating with 19 shaded stripes, each of length 1 m. A circular wheel of radius 2 m is divided into four quarters which are alternately shaded and unshaded. The wheel rolls at a constant speed along the path from the starting position shown.
The wheel makes exactly 3 complete revolutions. The percentage of time during which a shaded section of the wheel is touching a shaded part of the path is closest to
