Question

Kristy has 100 buttons in her button collection. She has 24 RED buttons. Write a decimal to show the part of her collection of 4 the buttons that is red.

Answer 1

To represent the part of Kristy's button collection that is red as a decimal, divide the number of red buttons by the total number of buttons.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the decimal that represents the part of her button collection that is red, we need to divide the number of red buttons by the total number of buttons. In this case, Kristy has 24 red buttons out of a total of 100 buttons. So, the decimal that represents the part of her collection that is red is 0.24.

Answer 2

The decimal that represents the 24 red buttons in her collection is 0.24.  The reason the number remains the same is because this is the number out of 100 total.  Decimals that end two places to the right of the decimal point are in the hundredths place.
