How many tenths are in one whole?

Answer 1

half of one whole = 5/10

Answer 2

1 whole is like 100. (100 percent) so let's set out the equation.

1/10 x 100. To make it easier, we CROSS CANCEL. 100 divided by 10 = 10 when we cross cancel the number that fits into a number is always 1. In this case, the 10 turns into a one because 1 ten fits into 10 and 10 fits into 100 ten times. so now it looks like this:

1/1 x 10, 1/1 =1 so now it is just 1x10 which is 10. So there are 10 tenths in a whole.
