round 1: choose and collect the correct representation of the number shown.
0.05 0.5
5 tenths
\\(\frac{5}{10}\\)

Explanation:

Step1: Understand the fraction

The fraction given is $\frac{5}{10}$. To convert a fraction to a decimal, we divide the numerator by the denominator. So, $5 \div 10 = 0.5$.

Step2: Analyze the decimal options

• $0.05$ is equal to $\frac{5}{100}$, which is 5 hundredths, not 5 tenths.
• $0.5$ is equal to $\frac{5}{10}$, which is 5 tenths, matching the given fraction and the visual representation (5 out of 10 parts shaded).
