Visual Fraction Recognition: Identifying Seven-Tenths (7/10) in Figures

Which figure represents seven tenths?

To solve the problem of identifying which figure represents seven tenths, follow these steps:

• Step 1: Understand that the problem requires identification of a geometric representation for the fraction $\frac{7}{10}$ or decimal 0.7.
• Step 2: Each figure is divided into ten equal segments, representing one tenth each.
• Step 3: Carefully count the number of segments filled or shaded in each figure.

Now, let's apply these steps:

Step 1: We note that each figure is evenly divided into ten parts.

Step 2: By inspecting each option, you can see which has exactly seven segments shaded. This corresponds directly to seven out of ten segments, or seven tenths.

Step 3: Upon review, the figure corresponding to choice 3 shows exactly seven shaded segments out of ten.

Therefore, the solution to the problem is eminently found as choice 3, representing seven tenths.
