Question

How much is 2 tenths in fifths

Answer 1

$\frac{2}{10} \times \frac{1}{5} = \frac{1}{5} \times \frac{1}{5} = \frac{1}{25} = 0.04$

Answer 2

Reasoning could also be used to prove that if 1/5 is 2 tenths (0.2), then 2/5 would be twice as much, or 4 tenths (0.4). Students could also divide each fifth of the rectangle into 2 equal parts to make 10 tenths
