To write a decimal in word form, start by writing out the whole number portion. Next, express the decimal portion as a fraction of hundredths. For clarity, it's often helpful to simplify multiple terms (such as "one tenth and five hundredths") into a single fraction (such as "fifteen hundredths").
To help read a decimal, you can put it into a place value chart. Let's use 0.45 as an example. You read this decimal by using the place value of the last digit to the right of the decimal point. This number is read as forty-five hundredths because the last digit is in the hundredths place.
Step 1: Read the number to the left of the decimal point and write it in word form. The number to the left of the decimal point is 342, which is three hundred forty-two. Step 2: Replace the decimal point with "and". Step 3: Read the number to the right of the decimal point and write it in word form.
To write a decimal in standard form, zeros may have to be inserted after the decimal point so that the last digit is in the given place-value position. Five and thirty-eight hundredths 5.38 (8 is in the hundredths' place.)
