4.7
Parts of a number like 3 tenths always go on the right side of the decimal point. Whole numbers go on the left side of the decimal point 3 tenths = .3
387.4
To the right of the 0, at four tenths of the dostance between any two consecutive whole numbers.
decimal places go .1(tenths) .01(hundredths), and .001(thousandths) and there are 10 thousandths in a hundredth and 10 hundredths in a tenth .9 is 9 tenths which is 90 hundredths or 900 thousandths but normally you would just say "nine tenths"

Three tenths is written as 0.3
4.8 is one such.

You put the digit right after the decimal. For example, if you want to say 91 and 7tenths, you would show it like this:91.7 The tenths would go right after the decimal.
387.4

Watch closely:7.4@above, yes, to elaborate, you are writing 7, and 40/100, which any fraction would go after the decimal point. so 7.40, you can also drop the 0
Well, darling, there are 12 tenths in 1.2. You see, each decimal place represents a power of ten, so when you have 1.2, that's 1 whole unit and 2 tenths. Simple math, really. Now go forth and conquer those decimal conversions!
decimal places go .1(tenths) .01(hundredths), and .001(thousandths) and there are 10 thousandths in a hundredth and 10 hundredths in a tenth .9 is 9 tenths which is 90 hundredths or 900 thousandths but normally you would just say "nine tenths"
2.3 2 is two wholes, which go on the left side of the decimal, and 3/10ths is .3 because the first decimal place to the right is 10ths. Hope I helped!
