Question

1. write 0.041 as a percent. 0.041 = \square % describe a model to represent the number. a 10 by 10 grid with \square squares shaded and \square of 1 square shaded

Explanation:

Step1: Convert decimal to percent

To convert a decimal to a percent, multiply by 100.
$0.041 \times 100 = 4.1$

Step2: Interpret decimal for grid model

A 10x10 grid has 100 total squares. $0.04 = \frac{4}{100}$, so 4 full squares represent 0.04. $0.001 = \frac{1}{1000}$, which is $\frac{1}{10}$ of one 1/100 square (since each square is 1/100 of the grid, 1/10 of that square is 1/1000).

Answer:

$0.041 = 4.1\%$
A 10 by 10 grid with 4 squares shaded and $\frac{1}{10}$ of 1 square shaded.
