.54 is bigger than .51. When you read a decimal, you read it from left to right, the biggest decimal number being the one closest to the decimal point.
The word form of 4.14 is "four and fourteen hundredths." In this form, the decimal number is read as a whole number followed by the word "and" and the decimal portion. The number after the decimal point is read as a cardinal number (fourteen) followed by the appropriate place value (hundredths).
As many as there were before the number was read!
6.49 in word form is "six and forty-nine hundredths." This is the standard way to express decimal numbers in words, where the number to the left of the decimal point is read as a whole number, followed by "and," and then the number to the right of the decimal point is read as individual digits.
You would round the number UP - to read 39.9910 (or 39.991)
.54 is bigger than .51. When you read a decimal, you read it from left to right, the biggest decimal number being the one closest to the decimal point.
To read the decimal 8.79, you read it eight and seventy-nine hundredths because after the decimal, there are two place values. The first is tenths and the second is hundredths. Since the last number, 9, is in the hundredth place, the whole decimal would be read as a hundredth.
The word form of 4.14 is "four and fourteen hundredths." In this form, the decimal number is read as a whole number followed by the word "and" and the decimal portion. The number after the decimal point is read as a cardinal number (fourteen) followed by the appropriate place value (hundredths).
76.7 = seventy-six and seven tenths.

6.49 in word form is "six and forty-nine hundredths." This is the standard way to express decimal numbers in words, where the number to the left of the decimal point is read as a whole number, followed by "and," and then the number to the right of the decimal point is read as individual digits.
You would round the number up - to read 7.040
To write 0.81 in words, you would say "zero point eight one." The number before the decimal point is read as a whole number, followed by "point," and then the numbers after the decimal point are read individually. In this case, "8" is read as "eight" and "1" is read as "one."
two hundred forty-one thousandths
You would round the number UP - to read 39.9910 (or 39.991)
In word form, 17.006 is "seventeen and six thousandths." The number to the right of the decimal point represents the decimal part of the number, which in this case is six thousandths. The number to the left of the decimal point is read as a whole number, which is seventeen in this instance.
Since the magnitude of the given number is less than 1 it cannot be expressed as a mixed number. It already appears as a decimal number in the question. I suggest that you read your questions before posting them!
