About 0.350 of a forest is being cleared of timber.
If the stretch of forest is divided into hundredths, how many hundredths are being cleared?
You can drop the zero on the right and read the number. Remember the place values to the right of the decimal point -- tenths, hundredths, thousandths, etc.
To find out how many hundredths are being cleared, you can look at the number after the decimal point. In this case, the number is 0.350.
The digit to the right of the decimal point is in the tenths place, the digit to the right of that is in the hundredths place, and the digit to the right of that is in the thousandths place.
So, the digit in the hundredths place is 3.
Therefore, 0.350 of a forest is equal to 3 hundredths being cleared.
