Let’s go step by step to find the place value of each bold underlined digit.
We’ll use the place value chart from the top of the worksheet as a guide:
From left to right (before decimal):
Millions, Hundred Thousands, Ten Thousands, Thousands, Hundreds, Tens, Ones
After decimal point:
Tenths, Hundredths, Thousandths, Ten Thousandths...
---
Problem 1: 13.45 → bold underlined is 5
Look at the digits after the decimal:
- First digit after decimal = tenths → that’s 4
- Second digit after decimal = hundredths → that’s 5 ← this is our digit!
✔ So,
5 is in the hundredths place
---
Problem 2: 26,278.952 → bold underlined is 9
Digits after decimal:
- First digit = tenths → 9 ← this is our digit!
✔ So,
9 is in the tenths place
---
Problem 3: 9,258,900.05 → bold underlined is 5
Digits after decimal:
- First digit = tenths → 0
- Second digit = hundredths → 5 ← this is our digit!
✔ So,
5 is in the hundredths place
---
Problem 4: 10.613 → bold underlined is 3
Digits after decimal:
- Tenths → 6
- Hundredths → 1
- Thousandths → 3 ← this is our digit!
✔ So,
3 is in the thousandths place
---
Problem 5: 756.607 → bold underlined is 6 (the first one after decimal)
Digits after decimal:
- Tenths → 6 ← this is our digit!
- Hundredths → 0
- Thousandths → 7
✔ So,
6 is in the tenths place
---
Now, the last part:
Write this number in standard form:
> Two million four hundred twenty-six thousand nine hundred fifty seven and three hundredths
Break it down:
- “Two million” → 2,000,000
- “four hundred twenty-six thousand” → 426,000
- “nine hundred fifty seven” → 957
- “and three hundredths” → .03
Add them together:
2,000,000 + 426,000 = 2,426,000
2,426,000 + 957 = 2,426,957
Then add .03 → 2,426,957.03
✔ Standard form:
2,426,957.03
---
Final Answer:
1. hundredths
2. tenths
3. hundredths
4. thousandths
5. tenths
Standard form: 2,426,957.03
