Question

round 1: choose and collect the correct representation of the number shown. 5 tenths 5/10 5/100

Explanation:

Step1: Understand "tenths"

Tenths refer to the place value representing $\frac{1}{10}$ of a whole. So 5 tenths means 5 times $\frac{1}{10}$.

Step2: Calculate 5 tenths

Mathematically, 5 tenths is $5\times\frac{1}{10}=\frac{5}{10}$. The fraction $\frac{5}{100}$ represents 5 hundredths, not tenths.

Answer:

$\frac{5}{10}$ (the first square with $\frac{5}{10}$)
