Answer 2

Given: 20.5

To Find: The place value of 5.

explanation:

as we have given,

                                     = 20.5

in the expanded form it can be written as,

                                     20    +  0.5

now if we expand it then it can be written as,

                                     2×10 + 5×1/10

( after removing decimal from 0.5, we have multiplied by 10 in the denominator)

Now we are writing it in the more expanded form then,

                                     2×10  +  0×1  + 5×1/10

                                    2 tens     and    5 tenths

Hence the place value of 5 = 5 tenths or 5/10
