Write the place value of the underlined digit of the following decimal numbers:
(i) $82.\underset{–}{6}1$
(ii) $5.\underset{–}{2}4$

Answer 1

$\begin{array}{ccccc}\text{Tens}\left(10\right)& \text{Ones}\left(1\right)& .& \text{Tenths}\left(\frac{1}{10}\right)& \text{Hundredths}\left(\frac{1}{100}\right)\\ 8& 2& .& 6& 1\\ & 5& .& 2& 4\end{array}$

$\left(i\right)82.\underset{–}{6}1$

Place value of $6$ in $82.\underset{–}{6}1=6\times \frac{1}{10}=\frac{6}{10}$

$\left(ii\right)5.\underset{–}{2}4$

Place value of $2$ in $5.\underset{–}{2}4=2\times \frac{1}{10}=\frac{2}{10}$
