Let's solve each part by identifying the
place value of the
underlined digit in each decimal number and writing it in
words.
We'll go through each one step by step:
---
a) 0.26 → six hundredths ✔
*(Already done for you)*
- The underlined digit is
6, which is in the
hundredths place (second digit after the decimal).
- So, 6 hundredths =
six hundredths
---
b) 1.47
- Underlined digit:
4
- It is in the
tenths place (first digit after the decimal).
- So, 4 tenths =
four tenths
✔ Answer: *four tenths*
---
c) 2.98
- Underlined digit:
9
- It is in the
tenths place.
- So, 9 tenths =
nine tenths
✔ Answer: *nine tenths*
---
d) 6.06
- Underlined digit:
0
- It is in the
tenths place (first digit after decimal).
- Even though it's zero, its place value is still
tenths.
- So, 0 tenths =
zero tenths
✔ Answer: *zero tenths*
---
e) 5.55
- Underlined digit:
5 (the second 5, after the decimal)
- This is the
hundredths place (second digit after decimal).
- So, 5 hundredths =
five hundredths
✔ Answer: *five hundredths*
---
f) 3.31
- Underlined digit:
1
- It is in the
hundredths place.
- So, 1 hundredth =
one hundredth
✔ Answer: *one hundredth*
---
g) 60.06
- Underlined digit:
6 (the last digit)
- It is in the
hundredths place (second digit after decimal).
- So, 6 hundredths =
six hundredths
✔ Answer: *six hundredths*
---
h) 814.37
- Underlined digit:
3
- It is in the
tenths place (first digit after decimal).
- So, 3 tenths =
three tenths
✔ Answer: *three tenths*
---
✔ Final Answers:
a) six hundredths
b) four tenths
c) nine tenths
d) zero tenths
e) five hundredths
f) one hundredth
g) six hundredths
h) three tenths
