Question

Claire drew a model of five tenths explain how Claire could change her model to show how many hundredths are in five tenths

Answer 1

Let x be the number of hundredths in 5/10. Then 100 times x gives 5/10.

$100x=\frac{5}{10}$

Solve for x.

$\begin{gathered} x=\frac{\frac{5}{10}}{100} \\ =0.005 \end{gathered}$

So, there are 0.005 hundredths in 5/10.
