Question

round 1: choose and collect the correct representation of the number shown.
5 tenths
\\(\frac{5}{10}\\)

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze the first graph

The first square is divided into 10 equal vertical strips. 5 of these strips are colored (teal). So the fraction of the colored part is the number of colored strips divided by total strips, which is $\frac{5}{10}$, and in terms of tenths, this is 5 tenths.

Step2: Analyze the second graph

The second square is a 10x10 grid (100 small squares). The colored part here is 5 small squares (since it's a single column with 5 colored, out of 100 total). So the fraction here is $\frac{5}{100}$ (or 5 hundredths), which is not 5 tenths.

Answer:

The top graph (the first graph with the 10 vertical strips, 5 colored)
