The two numbers, to one decimal place, on either side of 3.36 are 3.3 and 3.4 The [absolute] difference between 3.36 and these numbers is: 3.36 - 3.3 = 0.06 and 3.4 - 3.36 = 0.04 Of these, the second difference is smaller which means that 3.36 is nearer to 3.4.
It is a difference of 100X. The tenth place is the first column to the right of the decimal place. The tens place is the second column to the left of the decimal place.
A Thousand is above 0 and a thousandth is below 0 (after the decimal place)
the decimal point came from the middle ages. before - was printed a man decided to place a point in between two numbers then decided to call it the decimal.
Almost all numbers that we use in daily life are decimal numbers. The place value of each digit is ten times the place value of the digit to its right. And that is all that is required of decimal numbers. A decimal point is not necessary.

Tens is before the decimal and tenths is after the decimal (:
A decimal number is one way of representing numbers where each place for a digit has a place value that is ten times that of the place to its right. Most all the numbers that you familiar with (judging from your question) will be decimal numbers. A decimal number need not be a [decimal] fraction.
2.1535 is halfway between 2.153 and 2.154.

No, because it is smaller than 7.63

You do the multiplication in exactly the same way. The only extra thing is that when multiplying decimals, you need to place the decimal point (or decimal comma - depending on your country) in the correct position. If one number has, for example, 3 digits after the decimal point, and the other 4, you need to place the decimal point in the result (BEFORE eliminating unnecessary zeros) in such a way that there are, in this example, 7 digits (3 + 4) to the right of the decimal point.
The fraction is 3/5.
The decimal point of a number separates the whole part of the number from the fractional part of the number. It is located between the units column and the tenths column of every number. A decimal place is one of the digits after the decimal point: The first decimal place is the first digit, which is the tenths digit The second decimal place is the second digit, which is the hundredths digit The third decimal place is the third digit, which is the thousandths digit etc. When showing or rounding to a number of decimal places there will be that number of digits after the decimal place. eg the number 5.671 has three decimal places as there are three digits after the decimal point and the second decimal place, for example, contains the digit 7.
