There are not just 5 place values - there are infinitely many.
The number in the second place after the decimal point shows the value of hundredths.EXAMPLE 0.345 : The '4' represents 4/100.
There will be five decimal places.

The number of significant figures after the decimal place matches the number of significant figures before the computation of the logarithm. Thus ln(3.02) would compute to 1.105. Three significant figures to four significant figures (3, after the decimal place).
probably 3, thousandths place.
There are not just 5 place values - there are infinitely many.
A decimal is a way of representing a number in such a way that the place value of each digit is ten times that of the digit to its right. A decimal representation does not require a decimal point. It can have any number of digits: from one to infinitely many.
The number 170 as a decimal is simply 170.0. In decimal form, whole numbers are represented with a decimal point and a zero in the tenths place. This is to indicate that the number is a whole number and does not have any fractional parts.
The number in the second place after the decimal point shows the value of hundredths.EXAMPLE 0.345 : The '4' represents 4/100.
When doing your calculations, you should keep the values to as many digits as are available, then when you get to the final answer, look at the third decimal place (the thousandths place), and based on if it is 0-4 then you just truncate at the second decimal place, or if the thousandths place is 5-9 then add 0.01 to the number and then truncate at 2 decimal places.
The decimal point moves one place to the left when dividing by 10.
A decimal number is simply a way of representing a number in such a way that the place value of each digit is ten times that of the digit to its right. A decimal, in itself has no value, so there can be no answer to the question.
A decimal number is simply a way of representing a number in such a way that the place value of each digit is ten times that of the digit to its right. A decimal representation does not require a decimal point. Adding zeros after the decimal point is wrong because they imply a degree of accuracy (significant figures) for which there is no justification.So a whole number is [usually] a decimal number and there is no dependency on decimal places.
* One decimal place. * To the tenth place.
A decimal (ex. 0.2) can have any amount of digits after the decimal (ex. 0.222222334) Think about the tens, hundreds, thousands places. A number in the tens place has two digits. A number in the hundreds place has three digits, and thousands has three. However, the tenths (NOT tens) place is written after a decimal with one digit after it. (ex. 0.1) Hundredthshas two digits after the decimal, and so on. An easy way to remember how many digits are after the decimal is to think of the base number in the tenths place, the so called "base" word is ten, and the number 10 has one zero, so in the tenths place there is one digit after the decimal. In the hundredths place, the base word is hundred, and there are two zeros after the hundreds, so a number in the hundredths place has to have two zeros after the decimal, and so on.Helpful Hint: The number after the decimal can be any number, except you cannot end a decimal with a zero if you are writing something in a place smaller than that (if this doesn't really make sense, read the example following). A number in the hundredths place - 0.02 or 0.42 A number in the thousandths place - 0.002, 0.426, 0.411, 0.053 NOT - A number in the thousandths place - 0.030 This is actually 0.03, so it is in the hundreds place. A zero after the last number greater than 0 doesn't have a value!Hope this helps!
Multiply the numbers, count the total number of decimal places in the problem and place that many in your product.
