Let's solve the problem step by step.
Task:
Write each decimal number in words.
We need to convert each given decimal number into its word form. The key is to:
- Read the whole number part (before the decimal point) as a regular number.
- Say "and" for the decimal point.
- Then read the decimal part (after the decimal point) as digits, followed by the place value (tenths, hundredths, etc.).
Since all numbers here have only
one digit after the decimal, they are in the
tenths place.
