Decimals

What you’ll practice

Identify a digit’s value in the ones, tenths or hundredths position.

In 4.73, the 7 means seven tenths and the 3 means three hundredths. Use the decimal point to find the named place before writing the digit’s value.

How this skill works

Moving one place to the right divides a place value by ten. Tenths are 1/10 and hundredths are 1/100 of a whole.

The digit alone does not give its value: a 7 in the tenths place is 0.7, while a 7 in the hundredths place is 0.07.

Worked example

What is the value of the digit 7 in the tenths place of 4.73?
  1. The tenths position represents groups of 1/10.
  2. 7 tenths = 7/10 = 0.70.

Answer: 0.70

Teaching notes

  • Use the decimal point as the reference position.
  • A trailing zero does not change a decimal value.
