Question

round 1: choose and collect the correct representation of the number shown.
how can you describe 0.5?
when a whole is divided into 10 equal parts, ? of those parts makes 0.5.
5 tenths
\frac{5}{10}
0.5

Explanation:

Step1: Understand the problem

We know that a whole is divided into 10 equal parts, and we need to find how many of those parts make 0.5. Also, from the diagram, we see that 5 tenths (which is $\frac{5}{10}$) is equal to 0.5.

Step2: Relate to the number of parts

Since each part is $\frac{1}{10}$ (because the whole is divided into 10 equal parts), and 0.5 is equal to $\frac{5}{10}$, this means we need 5 of those parts.

Answer:

5
