Question

round 2: choose and collect the correct representation of the number shown. \\(\frac{3}{100}\\) 3 hundredths

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze the fraction

The number is $\frac{3}{100}$, which means we need a model divided into 100 equal parts with 3 parts shaded (since 3 hundredths implies 3 out of 100).

Step2: Analyze the first graph

The first grid (left) is a 10x10 grid, which has $10\times10 = 100$ small squares. The shaded part has 3 small squares, representing $\frac{3}{100}$ (3 hundredths).

Step3: Analyze the second graph

The second rectangle is divided into 10 equal parts (since there are 10 vertical strips), so each part is $\frac{1}{10}$. The shaded part has 3 strips, representing $\frac{3}{10}$, not $\frac{3}{100}$.

Answer:

The graph on the Left
