Question

Read the decimal and write the number name:

$0.05$

Answer 1

To read a decimal number, 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 needs to be read separately like six three (i.e., twenty six point six three).

We have $0.05$

Here $0$ is whole number and $05$ is a decimal part.

So, we can read it as, Zero point zero five or five hundredth.
