the decimal point
In the number 97.1we know that the 9 is in the tens place and the 7 is in the ones place. After the period we count tenths, hundredths, thousandths and so on. So in 97.1 the number 1 would be in the tenths place.
5.7
So, the number you are given is 5 8/10 To calculate the number of tenths, you multiply the number of ones by the denominator and add it to the numerator Thus, 5 X 10 = 50 50 + 8 = 58 There are 58 tenths
The period of a 5 digit number comes between the ones place and the tenths place. If there is no period, it is assumed to come to the right of the right-most digit. That would make it a whole number. For example, 1256.9 is one thousand, two hundred fifty six and nine tenths. 3.4582 is three and four thousand, five hundred, eighty two ten thousandths.
If you have 6 hundreds 3 ones 14 tens and 9 tenths, you are 743.9.
3.5 tenths rounds to 4 tenths
This number is equal to 654.7.
The number 72 does not equal 72 hundredths or 72 tenths. In the number 72, the number 7 is in the tens position and the number 2 is in the ones position.
4 ones equals 40 tenths.
20 tenths; 2 ones.
There are 20 tenths because there are 10 tenths in one whole.
