Final Answer:
The decimal point is placed between the Ones and Tenths columns, as shown by the black dots in the chart. This separates whole numbers (to the left) from fractional parts (to the right). Each column represents a power of 10 — increasing to the left for whole numbers and decreasing to the right for decimals. For example, the “Ones” column is worth 1, and the “Tenths” column is worth 1/10 or 0.1. The chart helps you understand how each digit’s position changes its value in a number like 345.678 — where 3 is hundreds, 4 is tens, 5 is ones, 6 is tenths, 7 is hundredths, and 8 is thousandths.
