the place value of a decimal number from left to right (bigger to smaller) are: tenths, hundredths, thousandths, ten-thousandths and so on... Eg:- 2.3758 3- tenths 7- hundredths 5- thousandths 8- ten thousandths
Thousandths is smaller than tenths.
No.
hundredths are smaller than tenths because on a grid tenths is bigger than hundredths
A tenths is a hundred times bigger than a thousandth. Just as a thousand is a 100 times bigger than ten.
OK. Think about it. 0.3 is three tenths. 0.5 is five tenths. If you take a board and cut it into ten equal-sized pieces, you have tenths. So.... would three of those tenths be bigger or smaller than five of those tenths? Smaller.
The number 0.8 - eight tenths - is larger than the number 0.008 - eight thousandths.
The 2 number 9 is tenths 5 is hundredths 2 is thousandths
8400
Four and thirty-six thousandths = 4.036The zero is in the tenths place.
Well, first you look at the numbers. For example:1.5and1.050You think 1.050 is bigger right? WRONG! 1.5 is bigger because the number in the tenths place, is 5. The number in the number 1.050's tenths place is smaller because the number in the tenths place, which is 0, is smaller than the 5 in 1.5.Get it? It simple, really ;) . Here's another example:2.59and2.6You would think that the 2.6 is smaller, but your WRONG AGAIN! 2.6 IS bigger because, you always look at the numbers after the decimal IF the ones, ( the numbers before the decimal), are the same. 2.6 IS BIGGER because the 6 in 2.6's tenths place, (the number after the decimal) is bigger than the 5 in 2.59's tenths place. Get it now? OK here ONE more:1.0and3.03.0 is bigger because 3 is greater than 1. Do you get it now? I hope so.
After the decimal it goes tenths hundreths thousandths so the number in the thousandths is 5.
