Question

Three boys cut out hundredths decimal models. Luke shades three fourths of one model. Owen shades four small squares of one model. Jacob shades two full models and nine tenths of another model. What decimal represents the amount each boy shades?

Answer 1

Luke = 0.75

Owen = 0.04

Jacob = 2.9

Explanation:

A model = 100 small squares

100 small squares = 1

Luke shades three fourths of one model.

Luke = 3/4 of 1 model

= 3/4 × 1

= 0.75

Owen shades four small squares of one model.

Owen = 4/100

= 0.04

Jacob shades two full models and nine tenths of another model

Jacob = 2 + 9/10

= 2 + 0.9

= 2.9

Luke = 0.75

Owen = 0.04

Jacob = 2.9
