It is called the decimal point. We say "point". For example 3.25 cakes is "three point two five cakes". The decimal point shows that the number on its left is the last whole number. In the above example, you have three whole cakes. The number in the next place on the right tells you how many tenths of a cake there are, in this case two-tenths of a cake. The number in the next place on the right tells you how many hundredths of a cake there are, in this case five-hundredths of a cake. 0.1 (zero point one) is one tenth.

0.04 (zero point zero four) is four hundredths.

How many digits fit in a period?

The number of digits that fit in a period depends on the context. In terms of numerical digits in decimal notation, a period (.) typically separates the whole number from the fractional part, allowing for an infinite number of digits in the fractional part. However, if you're referring to the length of a period of punctuation, it can accommodate only a single digit if used in a numerical context. Thus, the answer varies based on interpretation.

What does period of the underlined digits mean?

Oh, dude, the period of the underlined digits is just the number of digits in a repeating decimal pattern. It's like when your friend keeps telling the same joke over and over again. So, if you see 0.333... the period of the underlined digits is 1 because it just keeps repeating that "3" forever. It's like a never-ending story, but with numbers.
