Question: In the 10 x 10 decimal grid paper below 10 x 10 represents one whole. The operation in terms of the shaded columns is: Question 1 Select one: a. 22 x 0.5 = 11.0 b. Not given/Nie gegee nie c. 2.2 x 0.5 = 110 d. 0.22 x 5 = 1.10
1. **State the problem:** We have a 10 x 10 decimal grid representing one whole. We need to identify the correct multiplication operation based on the shaded columns. 2. **Understand the grid:** Each column in the 10 x 10 grid represents 0.1 (one tenth) of the whole. 3. **Analyze the shaded columns:** - Left graph has colored vertical bands representing some quantity. - Right graph has only the leftmost column shaded yellow, representing 0.1 or one tenth. 4. **Check each option:** - a. $22 \times 0.5 = 11.0$ (22 times half equals 11) — 22 is too large for the grid context. - b. Not given — possible if none matches. - c. $2.2 \times 0.5 = 110$ (2.2 times half equals 110) — result too large, incorrect. - d. $0.22 \times 5 = 1.10$ (0.22 times 5 equals 1.10) — plausible since 0.22 is 22 hundredths, times 5 equals 1.10. 5. **Calculate option d:** $$0.22 \times 5 = 1.10$$ 6. **Conclusion:** Option d correctly represents the operation in terms of shaded columns. **Final answer:** d. $0.22 \times 5 = 1.10$
