Converting tenths to hundredths

Question 1

Emma’s ribbon is split into 10 equal sections. She colors 5 sections. If she wants to represent the same colored part on a sheet that is divided into 100 tiny squares, how many squares must she color, and why does that give an equivalent fraction?

Accepted Answer

She should color 50 squares because each of the 10 sections contains 10 squares, so 5 sections contain 5 × 10 = 50 squares, giving 50/100.

Answer

She should color 5 squares because the number of colored parts stays the same, so the fraction is 5/100.

Answer

She should color 10 squares because you only need to double the denominator from 10 to 100, leaving the numerator unchanged.

Answer

She should color 0.5 squares because 5/10 equals 0.5, which is the same as 0.5/100.
