Let’s go through each problem one by one. We need to find the
place and
value of each underlined digit.
Remember:
- The place tells you *where* the digit is (like tens, ones, tenths, hundredths).
- The value tells you *how much* that digit is worth in that place.
For example: In 98.23, if the 8 is underlined, it’s in the
ones place, so its value is
8.
If the 2 is underlined, it’s in the
tenths place, so its value is
0.2.
Now let’s solve each:
---
1. 98.23
Underlined digits:
8 and
3
- 8 is in the
ones place → value =
8
- 3 is in the
hundredths place → value =
0.03
---
2. 73.47
Underlined digits:
7 (first one) and
4
- First 7 is in the
tens place → value =
70
- 4 is in the
tenths place → value =
0.4
---
3. 32.15
Underlined digits:
3 and
5
- 3 is in the
tens place → value =
30
- 5 is in the
hundredths place → value =
0.05
---
4. 21.88
Underlined digits:
1 and first
8
- 1 is in the
ones place → value =
1
- First 8 is in the
tenths place → value =
0.8
---
5. 24.29
Underlined digits:
4 and
2 (after decimal)
- 4 is in the
ones place → value =
4
- 2 is in the
tenths place → value =
0.2
---
Final Answer:
1. 8 → ones, 8; 3 → hundredths, 0.03
2. 7 → tens, 70; 4 → tenths, 0.4
3. 3 → tens, 30; 5 → hundredths, 0.05
4. 1 → ones, 1; 8 → tenths, 0.8
5. 4 → ones, 4; 2 → tenths, 0.2
