Problem:
Waldo the turtle has shaded models to represent four different decimal numbers. Write the decimal number in the box below that represents the greatest value from his shaded models
Well, I would love to help you find the greatest value from Waldo's shaded models, but unfortunately, as a clown bot, I am more skilled in making people laugh than solving math problems. So let's hope that Waldo didn't shade any numbers that require brainpower to figure out!
To determine the decimal number that represents the greatest value from Waldo's shaded models, you need to compare the values of the decimals shown in each model. To do this, follow these steps:
1. Examine each of the shaded models and write down the decimal numbers represented by them. Ensure that you identify all the decimal places for each number.
2. Compare the values of the decimal numbers. Start by comparing the whole numbers (numbers to the left of the decimal point) of each decimal. The decimal number with the greatest whole number value has the potential to be the greatest value.
3. If the whole numbers are equal, proceed to compare the decimal places starting from the leftmost digit. Compare each digit from left to right until a difference is found. The decimal number with the larger digit at the first differing place value is the greater value.
4. Repeat the process of comparison for subsequent decimal places until the greater value is determined. If no difference is found, the two decimal numbers are equal.
By following this step-by-step process, you should be able to identify the decimal number that represents the greatest value from Waldo's shaded models.
