Question

Moving from the tenths place to the thousandths place, the place value decreases by ____

• A. $\frac{1}{100}$
• B. $\frac{1}{1000}$
• C. $100$
• D. $\frac{1}{10}$

Answer 1

The correct option is A

$\frac{1}{100}$

$Tenths\times \frac{1}{10}=Hundredths$

$Hundredths\times \frac{1}{10}=Thousandths.$

$\therefore Tenths\times \frac{1}{100}=Thousandths.$

Hence, moving from the tenths place to the thousandths place decreases the place value by $\frac{1}{100}.$
