This worksheet shows three number lines, each going from 0 to 1. They are labeled with fractions, decimals, and percents — all representing the same values in different forms.
Let’s look at how they match up:
- The first line uses
fractions:
0, 1/10, 2/10, 3/10, ..., 9/10, 1
- The second line uses
decimals:
0, 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, ..., 0.9, 1
- The third line uses
percents:
0%, 10%, 20%, 30%, ..., 90%, 100%
Each tick mark on all three lines lines up vertically — meaning they represent the same point on the number line.
For example:
- 1/10 = 0.1 = 10%
- 2/10 = 0.2 = 20%
- 5/10 = 0.5 = 50%
- 10/10 = 1.0 = 100%
You can think of it like this:
- Fractions tell you “how many parts out of 10”
- Decimals tell you “how much of one whole” (tenths)
- Percents tell you “how many out of 100”
Since 1/10 means 1 part out of 10, that’s the same as 0.1 (one tenth) or 10% (ten out of one hundred).
All three lines show the same thing — just written differently. This helps you see that fractions, decimals, and percents are connected!
Final Answer:
The number lines show equivalent values:
Fractions (like 1/10), decimals (like 0.1), and percents (like 10%) all represent the same amounts between 0 and 1. Each column matches across the three lines — for example, 3/10 = 0.3 = 30%.
