Find 10% of each number. what pattern do you notice? <\/p>\n\n\n\n
A. 10% of 30 is <\/p>\n\n\n\n
B. 10% of 47 is <\/p>\n\n\n\n
C. 10% of 240 is <\/p>\n\n\n\n
D. 10% of 10.8 is <\/p>\n\n\n\n
E. Describe the pattern that you notice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The correct answer and explanation is:<\/mark><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n To find 10% of each number, you multiply the number by 0.10 (which is the same as dividing by 10).<\/p>\n\n\n\n A. 10% of 30 is:<\/strong> 30\u00d70.10=330 \\times 0.10 = 3<\/p>\n\n\n\n So, 10% of 30 is 3<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n B. 10% of 47 is:<\/strong> 47\u00d70.10=4.747 \\times 0.10 = 4.7<\/p>\n\n\n\n So, 10% of 47 is 4.7<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n C. 10% of 240 is:<\/strong> 240\u00d70.10=24240 \\times 0.10 = 24<\/p>\n\n\n\n So, 10% of 240 is 24<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n D. 10% of 10.8 is:<\/strong> 10.8\u00d70.10=1.0810.8 \\times 0.10 = 1.08<\/p>\n\n\n\n So, 10% of 10.8 is 1.08<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The pattern here is that 10% of a number is simply one-tenth of the number itself. The result can be a whole number, decimal, or fractional value depending on the original number.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n The key observation is that 10% represents one-tenth, so the answer will always be smaller than the original number. If the original number is a whole number, the result may be a decimal if the original number is not divisible by 10. This rule holds true for all numbers, whether they are whole numbers or decimals. The result is always a tenth of the number, as shown in the examples above.<\/p>\n\n\n\nPattern:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
