Let's solve each problem by identifying the
place value of the
underlined digit in each number.
We need to remember the place values for decimals:
- To the
left of the decimal point:
- Ones (units), Tens, Hundreds, etc.
- To the
right of the decimal point:
- Tenths (1/10), Hundredths (1/100), Thousandths (1/1000), etc.

1. 3.42 → underlined digit: 4
- The digit
4 is in the
tenths place.
- So, its place value is
4 tenths, or
0.4.
✔ Answer: 0.4
---
2. 5.46 → underlined digit: 5
- The digit
5 is in the
ones place.
- So, its place value is
5 ones, or
5.
✔ Answer: 5
---
3. 7.88 → underlined digit: 8
- The first
8 after the decimal is in the
tenths place.
- So, its place value is
8 tenths, or
0.8.
✔ Answer: 0.8
---
4. 56.89 → underlined digit: 6
- The digit
6 is in the
ones place (since it's the second digit from the right before the decimal).
- Actually, wait — let's look:
56.89 → 5 is tens,
6 is ones.
- So,
6 is in the
ones place → place value =
6
✔ Answer: 6
---
5. 78.02 → underlined digit: 2
- The digit
2 is in the
hundredths place (two places after the decimal).
- So, its place value is
2 hundredths, or
0.02
✔ Answer: 0.02
---
6. 7.7 → underlined digit: 7
- This is a bit tricky — both digits are 7, but we're looking at the
second 7, which is after the decimal.
- So, the
7 after the decimal is in the
tenths place.
- Place value =
7 tenths =
0.7
✔ Answer: 0.7
---
7. 9.89 → underlined digit: 8
- The
8 is in the
tenths place.
- So, place value =
8 tenths =
0.8
✔ Answer: 0.8
---
8. 11.78 → underlined digit: 1
- The
first 1 is in the
tens place? Wait —
11.78 has two 1s.
- The leftmost
1 is in the
tens place.
- But if the
underlined digit is the
first 1, then it's in the
tens place → value =
10
- But if it's the
second 1, it’s in the
ones place → value =
1
Wait — the image says "
11.78" and the
first digit '1' is underlined? Let's assume it's the
first 1 (the one in the tens place).
So,
1 in the
tens place → place value =
10
✔ Answer: 10
> Note: If only one digit is underlined, and it's the
first 1, then it's
10.

9. 1.02 → underlined digit: 0
- The
0 is in the
tenths place.
- So, its place value is
0 tenths =
0.0
✔ Answer: 0.0 (or just
0)
---
10. 0.20 → underlined digit: 2
- The
2 is in the
tenths place.
- So, place value =
2 tenths =
0.2
✔ Answer: 0.2
