Good evening,
I am not sure if Ross wrote the questions for homework correctly however, I am a little confused as to the difference in hundreds place value vs. hundreths place value is there such a place value as HUNDRETHS? Would HUNDRETHS APPLY TO DECIMAL PLACE VALUE? Thanks in advance for your help!
I think he means HUNDREDTHS. Yes, it applies to a decimal place value.
I like to think of money <g> -- $10.25 = 10 and 25 hundredths.
Math - 612.512 what does the 5 stand for in this number? show it 2 ways?

Good evening! I'd be happy to help clarify the difference between the hundreds place value and the hundredths place value.
The hundreds place value is a position in a number where each digit represents a multiple of 100. For example, in the number 589, the digit "5" is in the hundreds place, so it represents 500.
On the other hand, the hundredths place value is a position in a decimal number where each digit represents a fraction of one hundredth. It is one position to the right of the decimal point. For example, in the number 0.589, the digit "8" is in the hundredths place, so it represents 8/100 or 0.08.
To determine the value of any digit in a number, you can use the place value system. Starting from the rightmost digit, each successive position increases by a power of 10. For example, the ones place is 10^0, the tens place is 10^1, the hundreds place is 10^2, and so on. For decimal places, each position to the right of the decimal point is a negative power of 10, with the tenths place being 10^(-1), the hundredths place being 10^(-2), and so forth.
I hope this explanation helps you understand the concept of place value and the difference between the hundreds place value and the hundredths place value. If you have any more questions, feel free to ask!
