Question

Read the decimal and write the number name:

$2.97$

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

We have $2.97$

Here $2$ is whole number and $97$ is a decimal part.

So, we can read it as, Two point nine seven or two and ninety seven hundredth.
