Answer 1

Finding the place value position of the digit in a given number

Place value of a digit in a number is : digit × position of the digit

$1$	$.$	$\frac{1}{10}$	$\frac{1}{100}$	$\frac{1}{1000}$	$\frac{1}{10000}$
Ones	Decimal point	Tenths	Hundredths	Thousandths	Ten Thousandths
$3$	$.$	$9$	$6$	$0$	$0$
