Let's solve this step by step. The task is to identify the
place value name (not the value itself) for each
underlined digit in the given decimal numbers.
We are given a word box with these options:
- Tenth
- Hundredth
- Thousandth
- Ones
- Tens
Now, let’s go through each problem and determine the place value of the underlined digit.

- 1 → hundredths
- 7 → thousandths
- So,
0 is in the
tenths place.
✔ Answer: tenth

3) 15.98 → underlined digit: 5
- The number is 15.98
- 5 is in the
ones place (it's the second digit from the right before the decimal).
- Digits:
