Let’s go step by step to find the place value of each underlined digit.
Remember:
In decimal numbers, digits to the right of the decimal point are fractions of a whole.
The first digit after the decimal is
tenths, the second is
hundredths, the third is
thousandths, and so on.
Digits to the left of the decimal are ones, tens, hundreds, etc.
We’ll look at each number and identify what place the underlined digit is in.
