0.07 · 7/100 = 0.07.
6/100 · Each step adds 1/100, so 5/100 + 1/100 = 6/100.
4/100 · Counting hundredths is like counting whole numbers: after 3 comes 4, so 3/100 becomes 4/100.
True · Hundredths are smaller than tenths, so several of them fit between 0 and 1/10.
10 · 1/10 = 10/100, so 10 hundredths.
5/100 · 5/100 is smaller than 1/10 (which equals 10/100), so it fits between 0 and 1/10.
1/100 · Splitting 1/10 into 10 gives parts of 1/100.
True · Lena is right: 1/10 cut 10 ways is 1/100 each.
5/100 · Counting by hundredths means adding one hundredth each time, so 5/100 should come before 6/100.
3/100, 4/100, 5/100, 6/100 · Counting up one hundredth at a time gives 3/100, 4/100, 5/100, 6/100.
