Determine the numerical value of the shaded area:
To solve this problem, we'll follow these steps:
Now, let's work through each step:
Step 1: The grid is divided into 10 equal vertical columns.
Step 2: Of these columns, 1 column is shaded.
Step 3: Since there are 10 columns in total, the shaded area represents of the total area.
Finally, the fraction can be expressed as the decimal .
Therefore, the numerical value of the shaded area is .
0.1
Determine the number of tenths in the following number:
1.3
The answer represents the fraction of the total area that is shaded, not the number of shaded sections. Since 1 out of 10 columns is shaded, that's of the whole area.
Divide the numerator by the denominator! For , divide 1 ÷ 10 = 0.1. Remember: tenths become one decimal place, hundredths become two decimal places.
The same process applies! Count the total divisions, count the shaded divisions, then write as a fraction and convert to decimal.
While is mathematically correct, the question asks for the numerical value, which typically means decimal form: 0.1.
Look for the colored/shaded region and count how many equal parts it covers. Then count the total number of equal parts in the entire grid.
