Visual Decimal Recognition: Identifying the Figure for 0.1

Question

Which figure represents 0.1?

Step-by-Step Solution

The task is to determine which of the given figures correctly represents the decimal fraction 0.1.

To interpret 0.1, we recognize it as 110\frac{1}{10}. This indicates that in a graphical representation of 10 equal parts, 1 part should be shaded. Each figure is assumed to be divided into such equal parts.

Let's analyze the options:

  • Choice 1: Shows 10 equal divisions with 1 part shaded. This potentially represents 0.1 since it shades exactly 1 of 10 parts.
  • Choice 2: Shows 10 equal divisions with more than 1 part shaded. Thus, it represents more than 0.1.
  • Choice 3: Shows 10 equal divisions with numerous parts shaded. It represents a number greater than 0.1.
  • Choice 4: Shows a full shading, representing 1 (i.e., shading all 10 parts), clearly not 0.1.

Hence, the correct choice that correspond to 0.1 is Choice 1. This figure accurately shades exactly 1 out of 10 equal segments.

Therefore, the solution to the problem indicates that choice 1 correctly represents the decimal fraction 0.1.
