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"
1st let's see where each place after the decimal means: .1 = tenth .01 = hundredths .001 = thousandths .001 = ten thousandths Answer: 3.1415 (Lets break it down) 3 = Whole Number ~ .1 = tenth ~ .14 = hundredth ~ .141 = thousandth ~ .1415 = ten thousandth When rounding up, 5-9 will make the number in front of it go up +1. 3.1415 = 3.142 (The 5 rounded the 1 in front of it up to 2 which is in the thousandths position.)
0.481 in expanded form is 4 tenths, 8 hundredths, and 1 thousandth (0.4 + 0.08 + 0.001).
It is one thousandths.

What we have with the number 235.709, and rounding to the nearest hundredths is knowing your decimal positions. If we had a number "1.abcde..." we would call the number 1 = whole number (scientific notation 1.01) we would call the position "a" = tenths (scientific notation 10-1) we would call the position "b" = hundredths (scientific notation 10-2) we would call the position "c" = thousandths (scientific notation 10-3) we would call the position "d" = ten thousandths (scientific notation 10-4) we would call the position "e" = hundred thousandths (scientific notation 10-5) and this numbering system would continue. In actuality, people might talk about "thousandths," but rarely list anything beyond that (because it begins to become a mouthful! and awkward to say). So then Scientific Notation is used. Do you see how much easier it is to say 10-5 versus "a hundred thousandths"?) The exponent being a negative number informs us how many zero's we need to place to the right of the decimal point. So, 10-5 = 0.000 001 After reviewing what is being asked, we can get back to your original question: "round to the nearest hundredths." You see that 235.709 has values to the "thousandths" position. Therefore, we need to drop a position to get to the "hundredths" position. With .709, you can see that the "9" is higher than 5, so you would carry 1 to the next position (the zero would become one), and you now .71 which is to the "hundredth" position. Your answer would then be 235.71 Now, what would be your number if it was rounded to the nearest tenth?

21.01 Think of the decimal as a fraction. The .01 could go up to .99 before it turns into a 1, so that is hundredths. Thousandths would be .001, because .001 would go up to .999 before it turns into a 1.
