I just want to double check myself.
For the decimal 8.62354....what is the place value of 3?
Thousandths -----correct?
For the decimal 7.58021....what is the place value of 1?
Hundred-Thousandths------correct?
You're right on both of them. :-)
Awesome. LOL Thanks for confirming
Yes, you are correct in both cases.
To determine the place value of a digit in a decimal number, you can count the number of places to the right of the decimal point. Each position represents a power of 10. Here's how you can find the place value for each digit in the decimals you provided:
For the decimal 8.62354, the digit 3 is in the thousandths place. Starting from the decimal point, count three places to the right: tenths, hundredths, thousandths. Therefore, the place value of 3 is indeed thousandths.
For the decimal 7.58021, the digit 1 is in the hundred-thousandths place. Starting from the decimal point, count five places to the right: ten-thousandths, thousandths, hundred-thousandths. Therefore, the place value of 1 is indeed hundred-thousandths.
Remember, each digit in a decimal number holds a specific value based on its position relative to the decimal point.
