Week 19 Math 5
The place value and the value of each digit in a given decimal number depend on
their places. After going through this lesson, you are expected to give the place value and
the value of a digit of a given decimal number through ten thousandths. Study the given
table below. Observe how place value and value of each digits differ with each other.
In 0.2345 the digit 0 is a place holder of ones place. The digit 2 is in tenths place. Its
value is 0.2 or 2 tenths. The digit 3 is in the hundredths place. Its value is 0.03 or 3
hundredths. The digit 4 is in the thousandths place. Its value is 0.004 or 4 tenths and digit 5
is in the ten thousandths place, its value is .0005 or 5 tenths. Hence, 0.2345 means two
thousand three hundred forty-five ten thousandths.
Here is another example on how you can give the value and the place value of the
given decimals.
The item 21.9876 can be read as “twenty-one and nine thousand eight hundred
seventy-six ten thousandths”.

Decimals are just another way of writing fractions whose denominators are powers
of ten. The proper way to read them is the same as reading the corresponding fractions it
represent. After going through this lesson, you are expected to read and write decimal
numbers through ten thousandths.
Remember that “zero” and decimal point are not read nor written in words anymore.
When reading decimal numbers, read the number as it is. Use "and" to represent the
decimal point. Continue reading the number as it is, but end with the last place value. If
there are no whole numbers in front of the decimal value, you do not use the word "and".
Rather, you read the number as it is and end with the last place value of the number.
