0.45 · Hundredths use two digits after the point, so 45/100 is 0.45.
0.7 · Seven tenths is the fraction 7/10, and 7 tenths is written as 0.7.
0.78 · Seventy-eight hundredths means 78/100, and 78 hundredths is written as 0.78.
0.7 · Tenths use one digit after the decimal point, so 7/10 is 0.7.
0.45 · 45 shaded squares out of 100 is 45/100, and 45 hundredths is written as 0.45.
8/10 · 0.8 has one digit after the point, so it is eight tenths, 8/10.
True · 3/10 means 3 tenths, and 3 tenths is the same number as 0.3, so one dot marks both.
0.27 · 27/100 becomes 0.27: two digits after the point for hundredths.
65/100 · A two-digit decimal shows hundredths, so 0.65 is 65/100.
No, 5/100 = 0.05 · 5/100 needs two digits after the point: 0.05, not 0.5, which would be 50/100.
