Let’s go through each part of the worksheet step by step.
---
Part 1: Write down in words the value of the underlined digits
We are given numbers with one digit underlined. We need to say what that digit represents — for example, if it’s in the tenths place, we say “X tenths”.
1.
0.765 → The
7 is underlined.
- 7 is in the
tenths place → so its value is
seven tenths
2.
0.468 → The
8 is underlined.
- 8 is in the
thousandths place → so its value is
eight thousandths
3.
1.828 → The
2 is underlined.
- 2 is in the
hundredths place → so its value is
two hundredths
4.
4.053 → The
3 is underlined.
- 3 is in the
thousandths place → so its value is
three thousandths
✔ Checked: All positions match standard decimal places (tenths, hundredths, thousandths).

Part 2: Complete the statements like 2.534 = 2 + 0.5 + 0.03 + 0.004
This is breaking the number into its place values.
5.
3.657 = 3 + ___ + 0.05 + ___
- 3 is ones
- 6 is tenths → 0.6
- 5 is hundredths → already written as 0.05
- 7 is thousandths → 0.007
So:
3 + 0.6 + 0.05 + 0.007
6.
4.826 = 4 + ___ + 0.02 + ___
- 4 is ones
- 8 is tenths → 0.8
- 2 is hundredths → already written as 0.02
- 6 is thousandths → 0.006
So:
4 + 0.8 + 0.02 + 0.006
7.
1.947 = 1 + ___ + ___ + 0.007
- 1 is ones
- 9 is tenths → 0.9
- 4 is hundredths → 0.04
- 7 is thousandths → already written as 0.007
So:
1 + 0.9 + 0.04 + 0.007
8.
6.942 = 6 + ___ + ___ + ___
- 6 is ones
- 9 is tenths → 0.9
- 4 is hundredths → 0.04
- 2 is thousandths → 0.002
So:
6 + 0.9 + 0.04 + 0.002
✔ Double-checked all additions add up correctly.

Part 3: Write these numbers in words
Use the format from the example: “0.261 is: nought point two six one”
So we read each digit after the decimal separately.
9.
7.654 → Seven point six five four
10.
2.468 → Two point four six eight
11.
0.579 → Nought point five seven nine
12.
3.903 → Three point nine zero three
✔ Note: “Nought” is used for zero before the decimal, as shown in the example.

Final Answer:
1. seven tenths
2. eight thousandths
3. two hundredths
4. three thousandths
5. 0.6, 0.007
6. 0.8, 0.006
7. 0.9, 0.04
8. 0.9, 0.04, 0.002
9. seven point six five four
10. two point four six eight
11. nought point five seven nine
12. three point nine zero three
