Question

Claire Drew model of 5/10 explain how Claire could change her model to show how many hundreds are in 5/10 I know this is like my third time saying this

Answer 1

Answer:

There are 0.005 hundreds in 5/10.

Step-by-step explanation:

Claire drew model of 5/10

We want to know how many hundreds are in 5/10.

Let us use an obvious example.

There are three 2's in 6 right?

Suppose we didn't know this, and we are told to find how many 2's are in 6, we get this by representing this in an algebraic expression as:

There are x 2's in 6. This can be written as

2x = 6

Solving for x, by dividing both sides by 2, we have the number of 2's that are in 6.

x = 6/2 = 3.

Now, to our work

We want to find how many hundreds are in 5/10. We solve the equation

100x = 5/10

x = 5/1000 = 0.005

There are 0.005 hundreds in 5/10.
