Well, isn't that a happy little question! In 564, there are 5 hundreds. Each digit's place value tells us how many hundreds, tens, and ones there are. So, in this case, the 5 in the hundreds place tells us there are 5 hundreds in 564.
read the decimal as you are supposed to Don't read 0.45 as point 45 read as 45 hundredths this tells you what fraction to write, 45 / 100 and then reduce it to lowest terms, 9 / 20
00000000002.52 is the correct answer The power of 10 tells you how many places to move the decimal point. Move the decimal point to the right for a positive power. Move the decimal point to the left for a negative power.You want to move the decimal point 10 places to the left. First, write extra zeroes in front of the number. 2.52 = 00000000002.52 Now move the decimal point 10 places to the left. 00000000002.52 → 0.000000000252 2.52 × 10–10 = 0.000000000252
The first position to the right of the decimal point measures tenths, the second position measures hundredths and the third position measures thousandths. 1 thousandth is therefore 0.001 50 thousandths is 0.050 Note : 50 thousandths is equivalent to 5 hundredths so the decimal number could then be written as 0.50. In terms of value they are the same. In terms of what the number tells you, they are obviously different.
Seven and seven hundred twelve thousandths would be written as 7.712The "and" tells you where the decimal goes, "thousandths" tells you how many places there will be in the decimal part of your answer (3 decimal places for thousandths), and seven hundred twelve tells you how many thousandths there will be.
