Ok so you know that the first number after the decimal is the tenths and the second one is hundreths and the 3rd one is thousandths and so on right?

Answer 3

Answer 4

yes

Answer 5

So then do you think he is correct?

Answer 6

i dont know

Answer 7

Ok, lemme explain,

Answer 8

Now, for example, 0.738 would be written as `seven hundred and 8 thousandths` since it is in the thousandths

Answer 9

So what do you think now?

Answer 10

(We can ignore the part of the problem that says `0.271 ="271/100",` that is just saying that 0.271 can be written as a fraction, and if it was written as a fraction, that is what it would look like).

The only part we need is `0.271.`

Answer 11

so i think he's incorret

Answer 12

Yes, he is incorrect, the correct way for him to write it would be `two hundred seventy-one thousandths`

Answer 13

Answer 56

We are trying to write 0.271 in words

Since there is three numbers after the decimal, then we would say thousandths.
Since the number is `271` then we would say two hundred-and-one thousandths.

Yes?
