Link for Tonight's Homework Assignment

Below is the link for tonight's homework.

Like last night, REMEMBER:

• You need to show your work on your neat sheet for all 20 problems.
• Write on the lines and keep your work neat.
• Number each problem.
• Skip at least 3 lines between each problem. Do NOT pre-number your paper. You don't know how much pace you will need!
• Tonight's assignment is MUCH tougher! But you can do it!
• If you get stuck, no worries... Move on to the next one. We'll talk about the tougher ones tomorrow.
• Here's some help with #1 to get you started.

Paige put 20 flowers in a vase on the table. Two-tenths are yellow roses. How many yellow roses are in the vase?

Draw a picture. Imagine that each of these Xes below are flowers.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

That's 20 Xes!

How can I divide up those 20 into 10 parts? Well.. Take a look at this:

XX  XX  XX  XX  XX  XX  XX  XX  XX  XX

I've put them into groups of 2. How many groups are there? That's right, 10! I've divided up the total into tenths!

So if 2/10 of the flowers are yellow, that would be 2 groups out of the 10. So how many individual roses is that?
