Answer:

The fraction that represents the addition model shown above will be 53/100.How to solve the fraction?From the information given, a grid with 10 equal columns is shown with 5 shaded in. This will be expressed as 5/10.Also, a second grid is shown, identical in size, containing 100 squares with 3 shaded in. This will be expressed as 3/100.Therefore, the problem that represents the addition model shown above will be:= 5/10 + 3/100= 50/100 + 3/100= 53/100In this case, the answer given by Emma is incorrect as he added 5 to 3 and got 8/100.
