Question

draw a model for $\frac{8}{10}$. write it as a decimal.

Explanation:

Step1: Understand the fraction

The fraction $\frac{8}{10}$ represents 8 out of 10 equal parts. The 10x10 grid can be grouped into 10 equal columns (each with 10 squares, so 1 column = $\frac{1}{10}$ of the grid).

Step2: Shade the model

Shade 8 full columns of the 10-column grid (each column is 10 squares, so 8 columns = 80 squares total, which is equivalent to $\frac{8}{10}$ of the 100-square grid).

Step3: Convert fraction to decimal

Divide the numerator by the denominator: $\frac{8}{10} = 8 \div 10$

Answer:

Decimal: $0.8$
