I have a question on my math that my teacher cant help me with because this one is for try it. Can you help me see if it is right?:
It says:
12 .
Wich is equal to 30 hundreths?
A)3 thousandths
B)3tenths
C)3 tens
D)3thousands
I think the answer is B but, it really confuses me because of the tenths tens and thousandths thousands.
( i am in fourth grade and this is step up to fifth grade
Let's make that a fraction.
30 hundredths = 30/100
Simplify (or reduce to lowest terms): 30/100 = ?
Thank you!
You are welcome.
Of course, I'd be happy to help you with your math question!
To determine which option is equal to 30 hundredths, we need to understand the meaning of each term (tenths, tens, thousandths, thousands).
First, let's start with the term "hundredths." In our decimal system, a whole number can be divided into smaller parts called "hundredths." It takes 100 equal parts to make one whole. For example, if we have a pizza divided into 100 slices, each slice would represent one hundredth of the pizza.
Now, let's examine the options:
A) 3 thousandths: Thousandths is a smaller unit of measurement than hundredths. Since one thousandth is smaller than one hundredth, this option is not correct.
B) 3 tenths: Tenths is also a unit of measurement but is larger than hundredths. Each tenth is equal to ten hundredths. Since we are looking for 30 hundredths, this option could be the correct answer.
C) 3 tens: Tens represents a larger quantity than hundredths. It refers to groups of ten units. For example, 30 tens would be equal to 300. Since we are looking for 30 hundredths, this option is not correct.
D) 3 thousands: Thousands are even larger units. It means groups of a thousand. For example, 3 thousands would be equal to 3,000. Since we are looking for 30 hundredths, this option is not correct.
Based on our analysis, option B) 3 tenths seems to be the correct answer. However, if you're still uncertain, you could represent 30 hundredths as a decimal by writing it as 0.3. This shows that it's a fraction where 3 is in the tenths place.
Keep up the great work in math! If you have any further questions, feel free to ask.
