Question

Which best describes how to determine the decimal number that is modeled? 7 of 100 parts have been shaded, and 7 hundredths is written as 0.07 7 of 10 parts have been shaded, and 7 tenths is written as 0.7 7 of 100 parts have been shaded, and 7 hundredths is written as 0.7 7 of 10 parts have been shaded, and 7 tenths is written as 0.07

Answer 1

Answer:

7 of 100 parts have been shaded, and 7 hundredths is written as 0.07

Step-by-step explanation:

Note that we have a grid of 100 squares and 7 of those squares are shaded. We can represent the shaded portion by saying 7/100 which is equivalent to .07.

With this information, we can say 7 out of 100 is shaded and is representative of 7 hundredths.

Note that each digit after the decimal is a multiple of (1/10). We can express this as (1/10)^n where n is the digit place after the decimal.

In this case, we have 7, two digits after the decimal so it will be equivalent to 7 * (1/10)^2 = 7 * (1/100) = 7/100.

Cheers.
