Answer 1

Solution:

The decimal point is the point that distinguishes the whole number and the fractional part of a decimal number.

We know that tens and ones place value correspond to the whole number and the tenths and hundredths represent the fractional part.

Hence, decimal point will be placed after 5 and before 4.

$\therefore$ The answer is 25.43
