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.
First, write the whole-number part. Write "and" for the decimal point. Next, write the word form of the digits in the decimal part. Finally, end with the place value of the last digit.
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").
Convert 42.356 to words: Forty-two point three five six.
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.)
Decimal numbers in standard form are the simplest form, that can be easily read and written. For example, the standard form of decimal number 0.007 is 7 × 10-3. Sometimes it is very difficult to read or write very large or very small numbers. Hence, we write them in standard form.
Expanded Form of Decimal Numbers While writing the decimals in the expanded form, we need to multiply each decimal digit with the increasing exponent values of 1/10. Using the place value chart, the digits after the decimal points are represented as tenth (1/10), hundredth (1/100), thousandth (1/1000) and so on.
And when we do that we get four zeros. So we write the number four next to the minus. And that givesMoreAnd when we do that we get four zeros. So we write the number four next to the minus. And that gives us gives us our final answer of 7.0 10 ^-.
