Answer 1

1.05 is the answer draw 3 big squares 10 rectangles,and 5 ones.regroup 10s an 100s...divide by 3

Answer 2

Answer:  

First, Use 5 single box for 0.05

Use 1,  10-block for 0.10

Use 3, 100-block for 3.00.

Then,  we have total single box =  5 + 10 + 300 = 315

Now divide total 315 single boxes by 3 piles,

we get,  

$\frac{315}{3}= 105$

That is, every part has 105 single boxes.

⇒ Every part has 1, 10-block and 1, 5 single block.

But we did use 5 single block for 0.05 and 1, 10-block for 1.

Thus, each part is of 1.05.

⇒ $\frac{3.15}{3} = 1.05$
