Right most 5 (after the decimal) has a place value of 5/100 3 (after the decimal) has a place value of 3/10 Left most 5 (before the decimal) has a value of 5
Five what?
Divide 5 into 1 and the answer you get is the decimal value. 1/5=0.2
1/15 as a decimal is a recurring decimal: 0.066... with the 6 recurring forever; it would be usual to approximate the decimal by rounding to a number of decimal places, eg to 5 decimal places it is approx 0.06667
2.4. If the second decimal is more than 5 then first decimal value would have become 5 ie one more. If it is less than 5 then the decimal value remains the same. This is our present problem. Now question arises that what we have to do when the second decimal is exactly 5. It is a good question. When the second decimal value is 5 then look at the preceding value whether it is odd or even. If it is odd then change it to the next added by one. If it is even leave as it is. So interesting. Isn't?
