I have to write a word name for 8.032
Eight and thirty two thousandths.
IS this correct?
Looks good to me.
Yes, your answer is correct. The word name for the number 8.032 is "eight and thirty-two thousandths."
To determine the word name for a decimal number, you can follow these steps:
1. Read the whole number part as you normally would, such as "eight."
2. Use the word "and" to separate the whole number part from the decimal part.
3. For the decimal part, read each digit individually, placing it in the appropriate place value. In this case, "zero" for the tenths place and "three two" for the thousandths place.
4. Finally, add the appropriate unit at the end of the word name. In this example, the unit is "thousandths."
By following these steps, you can accurately express the word name for any decimal number.
