Question

sasha donated 9/100 of her class' s entire can collection for the food drive. Which decimal is equivalent to 9/100?

Answer 1

9/100 is the same as saying nine divided by 100 which is 0.09

Answer 2

Since it is 9 out of 100, the 9 would be in the hundreths place.  Since there is no tenths place, you put a zero there. The decimal would be 0.09.
