Question

Write the name of one point two thousandth ?

Answer 1

Explanation:

Decimal numbers are read left to right, just like normal numbers. Always start with the number that is to the left of the decimal place. This is the "whole" number. Here the whole number is $1$.

The period, or decimal point, in the number can simply be read as "and." Say the decimal directly after the number that is in front of it, or else it can get confusing. The decimal point determines which numbers are whole numbers and which numbers are not.

It is important to be accurate when you are describing numbers in maths. Determine which place the last number after the decimal is in by counting how many digits to the right of the decimal a number is. Then, add a $0$ for each digit to the right. Common decimal numbers end in the tenths, hundredths, or thousandths.

Here $2$ is in the thousandth place

Hence the number is $1.002$
