Complete the table below.
In this table, we’re given a
number, and we need to take this number and break it into its parts: its number of
hundreds, tens, units, and tenths. In a place values chart, we have
the hundreds, the tens, the units, then the decimal, and after that comes the
tenths.
If we know that the decimal place
goes between the units and the tenths, we can begin to fill out the chart. And the tenths box will be what is
to the right of the decimal place. The number 296 and one-tenth has a
one in the tenths place.
To the left of the decimal point in
296, there is a six in the units place. 296 and one-tenth has a nine in the
tens place. In the hundreds place, 296 and
one-tenth has a two.
In order from left to right, the
box would have two, nine, six, one.
