Question

Create a model to represent the following percents. 90% 0.9% 900% 9/10%

Answer 1

All these percents can be represented in terms of rational number.Percent means dividing by 100.

1. 90 % =$\frac{90}{100}=\frac{9}{10}$→→→Draw 10 rectangles or squares , and color 9 of them only.

2. 0.9 % = $\frac{0.9}{100}=\frac{9}{1000}$ →→Draw 1,000 rectangles or squares and color only 9 rectangles or squares.

3. 900 % = $\frac{900}{100}=9$→→ 9 different things

4. $\frac{9}{10}$%=$\frac{9}{100\times 10}=\frac{9}{1000}$→→→Draw 1000 rectangles or squares and color 9 of it.
