1) Underline the digit in tens place.

The tens place is the second digit from the right in a whole number. For decimals, it's still the second digit to the left of the decimal point.

- (i) 27.365 → 27.365 → 2 (tens place)
- (ii) 417.26 → 417.26 → 1 (tens place: 1)
- (iii) 7325.5 → 7325.5 → 3 (tens place: 3)
- (iv) 4781.369 → 4781.369 → 8 (tens place: 8)
- (v) 3254.2 → 3254.2 → 2 (tens place: 2)
- (vi) 247.25 → 247.25 → 4 (tens place: 4)
- (vii) 47.369 → 047.369 → 4 (tens place: 4)
- (viii) 147.36 → 147.36 → 4 (tens place: 4)

✔ Answer:
(i) 27.365 → 2
(ii) 417.26 → 1
