Question

read the decimal fraction and write down the place value of each digit 48.84​

Answer 1

Given,

48.84

To find,

The given number in words and the place value of each digit.

Solution,

The given in words will be forty-eight point eight four. And the place of each digit will be 40, 8, 0.8 and 0.04.

We can easily solve this problem by following the given steps.

To read any number we have to know the number in words.

So, to read 48.84 we have to write it in words. ( Note that the digits after the decimal point are read as one, two, three, etc., not as eighty-four, fifty-five, etc.)

48.84 = Forty-eight point eight four

The place value of 8 (before the decimal point) in 48.84 is 8 (unit place), 4 (before the decimal point) is 40 (tens place), 8 (next to the decimal point) is 0.8 (tenth) and 4 (after the decimal point) is 0.04 ( hundredth).

( Note that to find the place value of a digit in a natural number we put the digit and zeroes for all the numbers after it. For example, the place value of 5 in 1567 will be 500.)

Hence, the given number in words is forty-eight point eight four and the place of each digit is 40, 8, 0.8 and 0.04.

Answer 2

Given:

• A number = 48.84

To Find:

• Read the decimal fraction of the given number and find the place value of each number.

Solution:

The decimal name of the given number is "Forty-eight-point Eight-four".

The place value of 4 is 4 × 10 = 40 because 4 is in its tenth place

The place value of 8 is 8 × 1 = 8 because 8 is in its units place

The place value of 8 is 8 × 8/10 = 0.8  because 8 is in its tenth place.

The place value of 4 is 4/100 = 0.04 because 4 is in its hundredth place.

The numbers after decimal points should be read as eight, four, two, etc., and not as eighty-four or twenty.

∴ The decimal name of 48.84 is "Forty-eight-point eight-four" and the place value of 48.84 is 40, 8, 0.8, and 0.04.
