Which is greater, 3 ones or 47 tenths? Explain in words AND make a well-labeled, clear math drawing of your choice that helps you explain which is larger.

In the drawing, you can see:

- On the left: **3 Ones = 3**. This is represented by three fully shaded circles, symbolizing three whole units.
- On the right: **47 Tenths = 4.7**. This is shown by four fully shaded circles (for the 4 whole units) and a fifth circle that is 70% shaded, representing the 0.7 portion of the number.

As we see in the comparison, 4.7 (47 tenths) is larger than 3 (3 ones). The visual makes it clear that 47 tenths takes up more space than 3 ones.
