Best Answer

The -th suffix is used to represent a fraction of a whole.

Any digit in the ones place represents wholes, not a fraction of a whole; thus it is the ones and not the oneths place.
Because it is to the left of the decimal point.

Only the places to the right of the decimal place have the -th suffix which represents a fraction of a whole.

The ones place is to the left of the decimal point, so it does not have the -th suffix.

Why you don't have oneths' place in the decimal number?

When you divide 1 by ten you get something less than 1, so there needs to be a place to describe something that is a tenth of 1. If you divide one by one you get one, so the theoretical oneths place and the ones place are the same. 100 10 1 .1 .01 Hundreds Tens Ones&Oneths Tenths hundredths

Why does decimals start with tenth place not with oneth place?

Decimals start with the tenth place because they are a way to represent numbers that fall between whole numbers. The decimal point separates the whole number part from the fractional part, with each place value to the right of the decimal point representing a power of 10. The first place to the right of the decimal point is the tenths place because it represents one-tenth of a whole unit. This system allows for precise and flexible representation of values between whole numbers.

What is larger one third or two sevenths?

Well, firstly, the LCM (Lowest Common Multiple) of 3 and 7 is 21. Try to convert those fractions into fractions with denominators of 21. Multiply 3x7 in one thirds and 1x7, which changes one third to seven twenty-oneths. Multiply 7x3 in two sevenths and 2x3, which changes two sevenths to six twenty-oneths. Therefore, one third (seven twenty-oneths) is greater than two sevenths (six twenty-oneths).


What is 2 sevenths plus 2 thirds?

18/21= eighteen twenty oneths


What does place value mean?

the value of the place that a digit occupies in a numeral in relation to the decimal point. Examples: Ones, Tens, Hundreds, Tenths, Hundredths, Thousandths.... Each column where a number sits has a place value. In the number 125 the 1 is in the hundreds place value, the 2 is in the tens place value and the 5 is in the ones place value. More complex numbers use place values to the right of the decimal point, for example, 13.456, in this number the 1 is the in the tens, the 3 is in the ones, the 4 is in the tenths, the 5 is in the hundredths, the 6 is in the thousandths. Remember it goes in succession but don't get confused with the right side of the decimal there is no "oneths". The place values go in succession like this but are not limited to this example. Thousands, Hundreds, Tens, Ones (Decimal) Tenths, Hundredths, Thousandths, Ten Thousandths
