Question

Write the place value of the underlined digit in the decimal number.

$20.0\underline{6}5$

Answer 1

Step 1: The Place value chart for the decimal number.

Hundreds	Tens	Ones	$.$	Tenths	Hundredths	Thousandths
$100$	$10$	$1$	$.$	$\raisebox{1ex}{$1$}\!\left/ \!\raisebox{-1ex}{$10$}\right.$	$\raisebox{1ex}{$1$}\!\left/ \!\raisebox{-1ex}{$100$}\right.$	$\raisebox{1ex}{$1$}\!\left/ \!\raisebox{-1ex}{$1000$}\right.$
	$2$	$0$	$.$	$0$	$\underline{6}$	$5$

Step 2: The Place value of the underlined decimal number.

$6$ is in the hundredth place. Hence its place value is $6$hundredths i.e, $(6\times \raisebox{1ex}{$1$}\!\left/ \!\raisebox{-1ex}{$100={\displaystyle \raisebox{1ex}{$6$}\!\left/ \!\raisebox{-1ex}{$100$}\right.})$}\right.$

Therefore, the place value is $\raisebox{1ex}{$6$}\!\left/ \!\raisebox{-1ex}{$100$}\right.$ or $0.06$
