In the 1st pair of fours the 4 on the left side is 10 times greater than the 4 on the right. The same thing with the 2nd pair of fours. The 4 on the left side is 10 greater than the 4 on the right. Hope this helps!
If you have a grid with a hundred units and you need to show 1 hundredth (or 1%) you shade in 1 unit. If you need to show a tenth (or 10%) you shade 10 Units. I would need a picture of the grid to help any further.
