Question

Hugh uses 0.63 of a piece of canvas to paint a picture.Draw a model to represent this decimal.How much of the canvas is left?

Answer 1

.63 is a decimal. It represents part of something whole. I am not sure what you mean by model, but if .63 of the canvas is used, then 1-.63 is not used. 1 represents the full canvas.

1 - .63, or 1 minus .63 is equal to .37.
.37 of the canvas is left.

Answer 2

The required figure or model which represents 0.63 is shown in figure 1. Hugh left with 0.37 piece of canvas.

Explanation:

Consider the provided information.

We need to draw a model to represent this decimal.

We can use girds to write fraction and decimal.

0.63 is the same as
`(63)/(100)`

These decimal and fraction are equivalent.

Now draw 100 grids and shade 63 out of them.

As shown in figure 1:

The figure 1 represents 0.63 or
`(63)/(100)`.

The shaded are represents the 63 and there are total 100 grids out of which 37 grids are not shaded.

Hence, Hugh left with 0.37 piece of canvas.

The required figure or model which represents 0.63 is shown in figure 1. Hugh left with 0.37 piece of canvas.
