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

$8.\underline{9}3$

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.$
		$8$	$.$	$\underline{9}$	$3$

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

$9$ is in Tenths place. Hence, its place value is $9$ tenths i.e. $\left(9\times \raisebox{1ex}{$1$}\!\left/ \!\raisebox{-1ex}{$10={\displaystyle \raisebox{1ex}{$9$}\!\left/ \!\raisebox{-1ex}{$10$}\right.}$}\right.\right)$

Therefore, the place value is $\raisebox{1ex}{$9$}\!\left/ \!\raisebox{-1ex}{$10$}\right.$ or $0.9$
