Question

Choose the digit which has the lowest place value in 1.25.

• A. 1
• B. All digits have same place value
• C. 2
• D. 5

Answer 1

The correct option is D 5


The value of the places in a place value table increases towards the left and decreases towards the right.

So, the digit at the lowest place would be at the rightmost place.

In 1.25, the rightmost place is the hundredths and the digit in it is 5.

∴ In 1.25, the digit 5 has the lowest place value.
