Question

Express the following in words:

$42.056$

Answer 1

To write a decimal number in word, first read the digits to the left of the decimal point as a whole number and then read the digits to the right of the decimal point separately.

Example:- If $26.63$ is a decimal number then $26$ is a whole number read it as twenty six and digits after points $\left(63\right)$ needs to be read separately like six three (i.e., twenty six point six three).

We have $42.056$

Here $42$ is whole number and $056$ is a decimal part.

So, $42.056$ in word written as forty two point zero five six or four tens two ones and zero tenths five hundredths six thousandths.
