At the beginning of a game checkers what fraction squares covered by checker pieces?

Here's how to figure that out:

* Standard Checkers Board: A checkerboard has 64 squares (8 rows x 8 columns).

* Starting Pieces: Each player begins with 12 checkers.

* Total Pieces: There are 24 checkers on the board at the start.

Fraction of Covered Squares:

* (24 checkers) / (64 total squares) = 3/8

Therefore, at the beginning of a checkers game, 3/8 of the squares are covered by checker pieces.
