🔍 Understanding the Problem

Each block is a 10x10 grid, meaning it has 100 small squares in total.
This represents one whole unit (1), and each small square is 1/100 or 0.01 of the whole.

We are to determine what decimal value the shaded portion represents in each block.

The example shows:
- 3 columns shaded → 30 out of 100 squares
- So, $ \frac{30}{100} = 0.3 $

So, we count how many squares are shaded, divide by 100, and write the decimal.

✔ Let’s go through each one:

#### 1.
- Shaded: 1 column = 10 squares
- $ \frac{10}{100} = 0.1 $
- ✔ Answer: 0.1

#### 2.
- Shaded: 4 columns = 40 squares
- $ \frac{40}{100} = 0.4 $
- ✔ Answer: 0.4

#### 3.
- Shaded: 9 columns = 90 squares
- $ \frac{90}{100} = 0.9 $
- ✔ Answer: 0.9

#### 4.
- Shaded: 2 columns = 20 squares
- $ \frac{20}{100} = 0.2 $
- ✔ Answer: 0.2

#### 5.
- Shaded: 4 columns = 40 squares
- $ \frac{40}{100} = 0.4 $
- ✔ Answer: 0.4

#### 6.
- Shaded: Only 1 square in the bottom-left corner
- $ \frac{1}{100} = 0.01 $
- ✔ Answer: 0.01

#### 7.
- Shaded: 5 columns = 50 squares
- $ \frac{50}{100} = 0.5 $
- ✔ Answer: 0.5

#### 8.
- Shaded: Only 1 square in the bottom-left corner
- $ \frac{1}{100} = 0.01 $
- ✔ Answer: 0.01
