Marcy mailed a package weighing1.337 kilograms. How does the value represented by the 3 in the tenths place compare with the value represented by the 3 in the hundredths place?

Sagot :

If a number has a decimal point , then the first digit to the right of the decimal point indicates the number of tenths. The second digit to the right of the decimal point indicates the number of hundredths.  

In this case the .3 indicates 3/10ths of a kilogram.  or 300 grams!

In the other case 0.03 indicates 3/100ths of a kilogram or 30 grams!

So, to compare the two:

the tenths decimal is 10 times bigger than the decimal in the next spot (hundredths)

Hope this helps!
