Question 1 (a)

Complete the table with the help of the box and use decimals to write the number:

$\begin{array}{cccc}\text{Ones}& \text{Tenths}& \text{Hundredths}& \text{Number}\\ & & & \end{array}$

Answer 1

$\begin{array}{cccc}\text{Ones}& \text{Tenths}& \text{Hundredths}& \text{Numbers}\\ 0& 2& 6& 0.26\end{array}$

For better understanding:

The square is divided into 100 equal parts as shown below.

(a) (b)

(a) Out of 100 small squares, 10 squares are shaded.

Therefore, the shaded portion in the first case

$=\frac{10}{100}=\frac{1}{10}=\text{one tenth}$

(b) Out of 100 small squares, 1 square is shaded.

Therefore, the shaded portion in the second case

$=\frac{1}{100}=\text{one hundredth}$
