Question

How to put 5.5÷5 in a model

Answer 1

This answer is 1.1.

It is because:

5 goes into 5.5 ... 1.1 time. You would divide each 5 by 5 and then put the decimal in the middle.

On a model it would be something like this, 5 sections of 100 and 10 combined together.

Take a closer look!

Draw 6 100 by 100 graphs,

Color in 5 and 50 hundredths of the models.

Divide the colored sections by 1 and 10 hundredths.

Key:

The models are the 6 squares.

The 5.5 is the color red

The black is the division of 1.1

Hope this helps:
