Answer:
No. Divide the group of 12 small blue squares by small groups of 4 small blue squares, and you get 3, not 0.03.
Explanation:
6.
The large square is divided into small squares. There are 10 small squares on each side of the large square. Since 10 × 10 = 100, the large square is divided into 100 small squares.
The large square is 1 unit.
Since the large square, 1 unit, is divided into 100 small squares, then each small square represents 1/100 of a unit, or 0.01 unit as a decimal.
There are 12 small squares shaded blued.
Each small square is 0.01 unit, so 12 squares represent 12 × 0.01 = 0.12.
The group of 12 small squares is divided into 3 smaller groups of 4 small squares each. Each group of 4 small squares represents 4 × 0.01, or 0.04.
Now we are asked what 0.12 ÷ 0.04 equals.
Look at the figure. The 0.12 of the entire blue shading makes up 3 groups of 0.04 size, so 0.12 ÷ 0.04 = 3.
The division 0.12 ÷ 0.04 is the same as asking how many groups of 4 small squares can you fit in the group of 12 small squares? The answer is 3.
0.12 ÷ 0.04 = 3
The answer 0.12 ÷ 0.04 = 0.03 is incorrect.
Answer: No. Divide the group of 12 small blue squares by small groups of 4 small blue squares, and you get 3, not 0.03.
