Which figure represents 0.1?
The task is to determine which of the given figures correctly represents the decimal fraction 0.1.
To interpret 0.1, we recognize it as . This indicates that in a graphical representation of 10 equal parts, 1 part should be shaded. Each figure is assumed to be divided into such equal parts.
Let's analyze the options:
Hence, the correct choice that correspond to 0.1 is Choice 1. This figure accurately shades exactly 1 out of 10 equal segments.
Therefore, the solution to the problem indicates that choice 1 correctly represents the decimal fraction 0.1.
Determine the numerical value of the shaded area:
Look for the figure where exactly 1 part is shaded out of 10 equal parts. Since , you need one-tenth of the whole figure to be shaded.
If 2 parts are shaded out of 10, that represents . If 3 parts are shaded, that's 0.3, and so on. Only 1 shaded part equals 0.1!
No! It doesn't matter if the first, middle, or last section is shaded. What matters is that exactly one section out of ten equal parts is filled in.
Count the total parts (should be 10), then count shaded parts (should be 1). Calculate: . The math should match!
A completely shaded figure represents 1.0 (or just 1), not 0.1. Remember: 0.1 is only a small piece of the whole, not the entire figure!
