Well, darling, the number 36.4375 has four decimal places. It's not rocket science, honey, just count those digits after the decimal point. So, in this case, you've got 4 decimal places to work with. Hope that clears things up for you!
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.
To find the total number of decimal places in a product of two numbers, you add the number of decimal places in each number. If the first number has decimal places to the thousandths (3 decimal places) and the second number has decimal places to the tenths (1 decimal place), the product will have a total of 3 + 1 = 4 decimal places.
When multiplying a number with decimal places to the hundredth (2 decimal places) by a number with decimal places to the tenths (1 decimal place), you add the number of decimal places together. This results in a total of 2 + 1 = 3 decimal places in the product. Therefore, the product will have 3 decimal places.
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 product of a number with decimal places to the hundredths (2 decimal places) and a number with decimal places to the tenths (1 decimal place) will have a total of 3 decimal places. This is determined by adding the number of decimal places in each factor (2 + 1 = 3). Thus, the resulting product will be expressed to three 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.
