Lila rewrote 10/25 as 40/100 and representative with the picture Tony things is fraction is also equal to 2 / 5.
How could Tony write an equivalent parentheses equal parentheses fraction using tents? That is, what fraction in the Form ?/10 can represent the diagram above?
To find the equivalent fraction in the form ?/10 that represents the given diagram, we need to consider the fraction 2/5 and rewrite it in terms of tenths.
Step 1: We know that 2/5 is equal to 40/100, as Lila rewrote it in the picture.
Step 2: Now, we need to rewrite 40/100 as a fraction in the form ?/10. Since the denominator is 100, which is 10 times larger than 10, we need to divide both the numerator and denominator by 10.
Dividing the numerator (40) by 10 gives: 40 ÷ 10 = 4
Dividing the denominator (100) by 10 gives: 100 ÷ 10 = 10
So, the equivalent fraction in the form ?/10 is 4/10.
Therefore, Tony can write the equivalent fraction using tents as 4/10.
