Question

Two of your friends came to show their place value chart in which the amount of pizza $52.31oz$ is entered. Can you choose the correcr place value chart?

• A.

  Weight(oz)	T	O	.	t	h
  Place value	5	2	.	1	3

• B.

  Weight(oz)	T	O	.	t	h
  Place value	5	2	.	3	1

Answer 1

The correct option is B

Weight(oz)	T	O	.	t	h
Place value	5	2	.	3	1

The amount of pizza = 52.31 oz

Let's figure out the place values for each digits in the amount "52.31"

Weight(oz)	Tens	Ones	.	Tenths	Hundredths
Place value	5	2	.	3	1

$2\Rightarrow \text{ones place}$
$5\Rightarrow \text{tens place}$
$3\Rightarrow \text{tenths place}$
$1\Rightarrow \text{hundredths place}$

Hence the above place value chart is the same as in the option "b"

Now, Let's check the option "a"

Weight(oz)	T	O	.	t	h
Place value	5	2	.	1	3

As the given number is 52.31, the place value of 1 should be hundredths but in the above chart 1 is written at the tenths place and also 3 should be at tenths place but 3 is written in the hundredths place.

Hence option b is correct
