Explanation:
We are given a list of decimal numbers, and in each number,
one digit is underlined. Our job is to write the
place value name of that underlined digit — choosing from this word box:
- Tenth
- ones
- hundredth
- tens
- thousandth
Let’s go one by one.
Remember the place value positions for decimals:
For a number like
123.456:
- Left of decimal: … hundreds, tens,
ones
- Right of decimal:
tenths,
hundredths,
thousandths, etc.
So:
- 1st digit after decimal → tenths
- 2nd digit after decimal → hundredths
- 3rd digit after decimal → thousandths
- Digits before decimal: rightmost is ones, then tens, hundreds, etc.
Now solve each:
1)
4.017 — underlined digit is
0, which is the
first digit after the decimal → that’s the
tenths place.
✔ Answer:
tenth
2)
0.12 — underlined digit is
2, which is the
second digit after decimal →
hundredths place.
✔ Answer:
hundredth
3)
15.98 — underlined digit is
5, which is the digit just before the decimal point (in 15.98, digits are: 1 (tens), 5 (ones), ., 9 (tenths), 8 (hundredths)) → so
5 is in the
ones place.
✔ Answer:
ones
4)
108.789 — underlined digit is
9, which is the
third digit after decimal →
thousandths place.
✔ Answer:
thousandth
5)
0.156 — underlined digit is
1, which is the
first digit after decimal →
tenths place.
✔ Answer:
tenth
6)
0.875 — underlined digit is
5, which is the
third digit after decimal →
thousandths place.
✔ Answer:
thousandth
7)
17.8 — underlined digit is
8, which is the
first digit after decimal →
tenths place.
✔ Answer:
tenth
8)
89.987 — underlined digit is
7, which is the
third digit after decimal →
thousandths place.
✔ Answer:
thousandth
9)
13.01 — underlined digit is
0, which is the
first digit after decimal →
tenths place.
✔ Answer:
tenth
10)
75.10 — underlined digit is
0, which is the
second digit after decimal →
hundredths place.
✔ Answer:
hundredth
Let me double-check each:
1) 4.017 → 0 is in tenths ✔
2) 0.12 → 2 is in hundredths ✔
3) 15.98 → 5 is ones ✔
4) 108.789 → 9 is thousandths ✔
5) 0.156 → 1 is tenths ✔
6) 0.875 → 5 is thousandths ✔
7) 17.8 → 8 is tenths ✔
8) 89.987 → 7 is thousandths ✔
9) 13.01 → 0 is tenths ✔
10) 75.10 → 0 is hundredths ✔
All correct.
Final Answer:
1) tenth
2) hundredth
3) ones
4) thousandth
5) tenth
6) thousandth
7) tenth
8) thousandth
9) tenth
10) hundredth
