Question

Write the following decimal number in words:
$108.56$

Answer 1

Lets write the given decimal number in place value table.

$\begin{array}{cccccc}\text{Hundred}& \text{Ten}& \text{One}& .& \text{Tenth}& \text{Hundredth}\\ 1& 0& 8& .& 5& 6\end{array}$

With the help of place value table,
$108.56$ in word form = One hundred eight and fifty-six hundredth

Here, whole number part and decimal part are connected by keyword "and" whole number part will be written with their place value, i.e., One hundred eight. The decimal number part will be written as whole number followed by place value of rightmost digit, i.e., fifty-six hundredth. Altogether, $108.56=$ One hundred eight and fifty-six hundredth.

$108.56$ can also be written as One hundred eight point five six. Here, point represents the decimal point and numbers after decimal will be written by their face value.
