What is the value of 3 in 191.63?

Answer 1

the value of the 3 in 191.63 is 3/100th's (said as three one-hundredths, or 3 over 100, depending on where you are from usually).

it is 3/100th's because it is in the hundredths decimal spot:

(integer).(tenths)(onehundredths)(onethousandths)

an easy way to remember the spots is to picture a 1 (one) in ur head and remembering how many zeros (or place-holders, which is just a number) it would take to get to that spot. for tenths spot, there is one zero needed, and so the picture in ur head should be 10, and thus tenths spot :)

for hundredths position, there is two zeros (or placeholders) to get there, and so the mental picture becomes 100, and thus one-hundredths spot.

fyi, hundredths is interchangeable with one-hundredths (meaning they mean the same thing, just different way of saying it).
