Decimal Maths

Today at maths we had a special session for Miss Hill. Me ,Thea , Josh L, Lachlan , Hope , Kharn , Libby and Ethany Had a maths session about decimals. Jaedyn recorded us for Miss Hill.

There were two  questions they were 3.5 / 4 and 6 / 7.5.
Here is how Me and Josh L worked out our answers.

Question number 1. 
First we gave each person 3/4s of a cookie. then there was 1/4 of a cookie left on each one. So that leaves 0.750 left. Now we need to split that. We gave each person 0.125 to each person the they have 0.875.                   

Question number 2.  

First Josh and I gave everyone one cookie each. Then there was 1 and a half to work with. So we gave each person 0.250 of a cookie because you get four quarters of a whole and two and that covers for six people. That makes my answer 1.25.             


Question 1

Question 2.
