I just want to know if someone can help me understand what is it asking.if I have to show different as different ways of fractions and decimals to come up to 15% or just one method of 15%.
copy the web below. Since it is a web that shows the connections between all the
different ways a portion can be represented, its technical name is “Representations of a Portion web.”
After copying the web, show as many representations of the number 15% as you can. Title this entry
“Representations of a Portion” and include today’s date.
15% = 0.15 = 15/100 = 3/20
To show different ways of representing 15% as fractions and decimals, you can follow these steps:
1. Start by understanding what 15% means: Percent means "out of 100." So, 15% is equal to 15 out of 100, or 15/100.
2. Convert the fraction 15/100 to a decimal by dividing the numerator (15) by the denominator (100):
15 ÷ 100 = 0.15
3. Now, let's explore different representations of 15% as fractions:
- 15/100 is the simplest form of the fraction representing 15%.
- You can simplify it further by dividing both the numerator and denominator by 5, resulting in 3/20.
4. Moving on to decimals, we already know that 15% can be represented as 0.15. However, there are alternative ways to express this value:
- 0.15 can be expanded to show tenths and hundredths: 0.1 + 0.05 = 0.10 + 0.05 = 0.10 + 0.01 + 0.04. So, 15% can also be represented as 0.10 + 0.01 + 0.04.
To complete the task:
1. Access the web called "Representations of a Portion" that shows the connections between different ways a portion can be represented.
2. Copy the web and include it in your response.
3. Title your entry "Representations of a Portion" and mention today's date.
By following these steps along with the instructions specified, you will be able to show multiple representations of 15% as fractions and decimals and complete the task successfully.
