Model the number 8.88 on the place value chart.
Use words, numbers, and your model to explain why each of the digits has a different value. Be sure to use “ten times as large” and “one tenth as large” in your explanation.
The place value of 8 is in the ones place it has a value of 8 ones or 8 wholes and is ten times as large as 0.8. It is equal to 8x1
The second 8 is in the tenths place it has a value of 8/10 (8 parts out of ten) It is equal to 8x 1/10
The 3rd 8 is the hundredths place and has a value of 8/100 (8 parts out of 100) It is one tenth as large as the 8 in the tenths place. It is equal to 8x 1/100
Compare using >, <, or =.

Explain your thinking in the space to the right.
34.223 ---------------------- 34.232
0.8 ------------------------- 0.706
34,223 < 34,232
The three in the tens place is greater than the 2 in the tens place
0.8 > 0.706
8 tenths is larger that 7 tenths
Mrs. Fan wrote 5 tenths minus 3 hundredths on the board. Michael said the answer is 2 tenths because 5 minus 3 is 2. Is he correct? Explain.
0.50 - 0.03 = 0.47
You cannot minus 3 from 5 because they do not have the same place value
4. Mr. House wrote 8 tenths minus 5 hundredths on the board. Maggie said the answer is 3 hundredths because 8 minus 5 is 3. Is she correct? Explain.
What is
0.8 - 0.05 = 0.75
No the place value is not the same so you cannot minus 5 from 8
A decimal number has two digits to the right of its decimal point. If we round it to the nearest tenth, the

5. Lance measured 0.485 liter of water. Angel measured 0.5 liter of water. Lance said, “My beaker has more water than yours because my number has three decimal places and yours only has one.” Is Lance correct? Use words and numbers to explain your answer.
Which number is greater?
0.485 < 0.5
5 tenths is more than 4 tenths. Even though there are three decimal places in 0.485.
But if you round 0.485 both numbers will be equal since 4 tenths will round to 5 tenths since 8 hundredths is more than 5 hundredths.
A clipboard costs $2.23. It costs $0.58 more than a notebook. If Lisa bought 2 clipboards and one notebook how much would she spend? She paid with a ten-dollar bill. How much change does Lisa get?
$2.23 - $0.58 = $1.65
Cost of notebook $1.65
$2.23 + $ 2:23 $1.65 = $6.11 total cost of notebook and clipboard
$10.00 - $6.11 = $3.89 Change from $10 bill

Jen’s pedometer said she walked 2.549 miles. She rounded her distance to 3 miles. Her brother rounded her distance to 2.5 miles. When they argued about it, their mom said they were both right. Explain how that could be true. Use number lines and words to explain your reasoning.
Jen rounded to the ones place since there is a 5 in the tenths place she rounded up so 2.549 rounded to 3
Her brother rounded to the tenths place. Since there is 4 in the hundredths place the tenths place does not change. So 2.549 rounded to 2.5

In a paper airplane contest, Marcel’s plane travels 3.345 meters. Salvador’s plane travels 3.35 meters. Jennifer’s plane travels 3.3 meters. Based on the measurements, whose plane traveled the farthest distance? Whose plane traveled the shortest distance? Explain your reasoning using a place value chart.
Salvador's plane travels the furthest because 5 hundredths is more than 4 hundredths and there is no hundredths place in 3.3
Jennifer's plane travelled the shortest distance since there is no hundredths in 3.3 the other two numbers have 5 and 4 in hundredths place
Anna buys groceries for her family. Hamburger meat is $3.38 per pound, sweet potatoes are $0.79 each, and hamburger rolls are $2.30 a bag. If Anna buys 3 pounds of meat, 5 sweet potatoes, and 1 bag of hamburger rolls, what will she pay in all for the groceries?
$3.38X3= $10.14 Cost of meat
$0.79 x 5=$ 3.95 cost of sweet potatoes
$2.30X 1=$2.30 cost of hamburger rolls
$10.14 + $3.95 + $2.30 = $16.39 cost of all the groceries
