      great understanding of fractions. Question 8 was which way of showing tenths do you prefer and why?

    1: a: Shaded in 7 boxes. b: Shaded in 4 boxes. c: Shaded in 3 boxes.
    2: Bar model 1: Fraction: 1/10. Decimal: 0.1. Bar model 2: Fraction: 5/10. Decimal: 0.5. Bar model 3: Fraction:6/10. Decimal: 0.6. Bar model 4: Fraction: 3/10. Decimal: 0.3.
    3: 0.1 is 1 along from 0. 2/10 is 2 along from 0. 0.6 is 6 along from 0. 9/10 is 9 along from 0.
    4: A: 3/10 or 0.3. B: 4/10 or 0.4. C: 7/10 or 0.7.
    5: 3/10,0.3, three tenths. 9/10, 0.9, nine tenths. 7/10, 0.7, seven tenths. 4/10,0.4, four tenths. 1/10, 0.1, one tenth.
    6: a:100. b:10. c:1.
    7 I disagree with Ron because ten tenths would be a whole, so it wouldn’t be 0.10, it would be 1.0.
    8: I think D is the best.

    A. 10 10 10 10 10 = 10/10
    10 10 10 10 10

    7. No i dont agree with Ron because it would look like 10/10.
    8. I would choose C because it is shown in a clear way for people and it is obvious it is 8 squares.

    4. a 0.3 or 3 tenths
    b . 0.4 or 4 tenths
    c. 0.7 or 7 tenths
    5. 3/10 = 0.3 =3 tenths
    9/10 = 0.9 =nine tenths
    7/10 = 0.7 = seven tenths

    1: a = 7 squares
    b= 4 squares
    c= 3 squares

    2: a = 1/10 or 0.1
    b = 5/10 or 0.5
    c = 6/10 or 0.6
    d = 3/10 or 0.3

    3: 0.1, 2/10,, 6/10, 0.9

    4: a = 3/10 or 0.3
    b = 4/10 or 0.4
    c = 7/10 or 0.7

    5: 3/10 or 0.3 or three tenths
    9/10 or 0.9 or nine tenths
    7/10 or 0.7 or seven tenths
    4/10 or 0.4 or four tenths
    1/10 or 0.1 or one tenth

    6: a = 100
    b = 10
    c = 1

    7: this is wrong as he done 0.1 not 1

    8: I think it’s the shaded one as it’s easier to understand

    1.
    a) 7 tenth =7 squares
    b)4 tenths=4 squares
    y
    c)0.3=3 squares shaded at the back

    2.
    fraction decimal-yes
    yes
    yes
    yes

    3.
    0.1-2 tenths-0.6-9 tenths

    4.
    A=4 tenths or 0.4
    B=5 tenths or 0.5
    C=8 tenths or 0.8

    5.
    3-10 goes to 0.3 goes to three tenths
    9-10 goes to 0.9 goes to nine tenths
    7-10 goes to 0.7 goes to seven tenths
    4-10 goes to 0.4 goes to four tenths
    1-10 goes to 0.1 goes to one tenths

    6.
    100
    10
    0.10

    7.
    yes because 1-10 and 1-9 can be 0.10 or 0.9 and there decimals

    8.
    the best is c
    6 squares
    0.1+0.1+0.1+0.1+0.1+0.1

    1a) 7 squares shaded

    c) 3 squares shaded
    2a) 1/10, 0.1
    b) 5/10, 0.5
    c) 3/10, 0.3
    3) 0.1, 2/10, 0.6, 9/10
    4 a) 3/10 or 0.3
    b) 4/10 or 0.4
    c) 7/10 or 0.7
    5) 3/10- 0.3- three tenths
    9/10- 0.9- 9 tenths
    7/10- 0.7- seven tenths
    4/10- 0.4- four tenths
    1/10- 0.1- one tenths
    6) 1.0
    0.1
    0.01
    7) He is incorrect. 10tenths as a fraction is 10/10 so in decimal it will be 1.00.
    8) C
