Each big square is one
whole. Daniel has colored two wholes
and seventeen hundredths orange. Write this as a mixed
number. Write this as a decimal. Tip: Use a place value table to
help you.
We know that Daniel has colored
two wholes and seventeen hundredths orange. We have to write this amount as
a mixed number and as a decimal, and we’re told to use the place value table to
help. How would we write two wholes
and seventeen hundredths as a mixed number. We know that each big square is
one whole, and we also know that Daniel has colored two whole squares or two big
squares orange, so the whole part of his mixed number is two. We also know that the
fractional part of his number is seventeen hundredths. The large square has been
divided into 100 smaller squares or 100 equal parts, and each part is a
hundredth. And we know that Daniel has
colored seventeen hundredths, so two wholes and seventeen hundredths written as
a mixed number is two and seventeen hundredths.
Now we need to write this as a
decimal. We know that Daniel has colored
two whole squares, which represent two ones. And the fractional part of the
number is seventeen hundredths. So two wholes and seventeen
hundredths as a decimal is 2.17, which we would say as two and seventeen
hundredths. Daniel colored two wholes and
seventeen hundredths orange. We would write this as a mixed
number as two and seventeen hundredths. And to write this as a decimal,
we would write 2.17, which is two and seventeen hundredths.
