Answers
(1) 4 Ten thousandths

Step 1
Let us draw the place value chart to find where the digit 4 is placed in the given number: 3657804
| Lakhs| Thousands| Ones| Tenths| Hundredths| Thousandths| Ten thousandths|
| TL| L| TTH| TH| H| T| O| . (1/10)| (1/100)| (1/1000)| (1/10000)|
3 6 5 . 7 8 0 4

Legend:
TL - Ten Lakhs, L - Lakhs, TTH - Ten Thousands, TH - Thousands, H - Hundreds, T - Tens, O -
Ones.

Step 2
From the above table, we observe that 4 is placed under the Ten thousandths place.

Step 3
Hence, the place value of 4 in 365.7804 is 4 Ten thousandths.

(2) 2.5

Step 1
The number name given in the question is two and five-tenths. We know that tenths can be
1 5 5
represented as . So, we can write two and five-tenths as 2 and i.e., 2 .
10 10 10

Step 2
Now, let us convert the mixed fraction into an improper fraction.
5 2 × 10 + 5 25
2 = =
10 10 10

Step 3
Now, we have to write down the above fraction into the decimal fraction form.
1
We know, can be written as 0.1.
10
25
Therefore, can be written as 2.5.
10

Step 4
Hence, 2.5 is the required decimal fraction.

(3) A) 0.002

Step 1
We know that the number of zeroes decide the position of the decimal place.
Since the denominator is 1000, the decimal point will be placed after 3 digits (starting
from right to left).

Step 2
2
This means that the decimal value of the fraction will be 0.002.
1000

B) 0.08

Step 1
We know that the number of zeroes decide the position of the decimal place.
Since the denominator is 100, the decimal point will be placed after 2 digits (starting
from right to left).

Step 2
8
This means that the decimal value of the fraction will be 0.08.
100

C) 0.02

Step 1
We know that the number of zeroes decide the position of the decimal place.
Since the denominator is 100, the decimal point will be placed after 2 digits (starting
from right to left).

Step 2
2
This means that the decimal value of the fraction will be 0.02.

D) 9.02

Step 1
We'll first convert the given mixed fraction into an improper fraction.

Step 2
902
100 x 9 + 2 = 902, which is our numerator. So the improper fraction will be .
100

Step 3
We know that the number of zeroes decide the position of the decimal place.
Since the denominator is 100, the decimal point will be placed after 2 digits (starting
from right to left).

Step 4
902
This means that the decimal value of the fraction will be 9.02.
100

(4) 0.48

Step 1
We know that 13.48 is not a prime number. On close observation, we find that the nearest prime
number less than 13.48 is 13.

Step 2
Therefore, the smallest number that should be subtracted from 13.48 to make it prime = 13.48 - 13
= 0.48.

(5) 66.66

Step 1
Decimals with the same number of decimal places are called Like Decimals. The numbers given
here are therefore Like Decimals.

Step 2
We need to subtract 431.14 from 497.8. Therefore, 497.8 must be placed on top and 431.14 below
that. The digits of the two numbers must be placed according to their place values.

Step 3
Let us now do the subtraction of the two numbers digit by digit, starting from the hundredths and
borrowing if needed:
Thousands Hundreds Tens Ones . Tenth Hundredth
4 9 7 . 8 0
- 4 3 1 . 1 4

0 6 6 . 6 6

Step 4
Hence, when we subtract 431.14 from 497.8, we get 66.66.

(6) 261.24

Step 1
Decimals with the same number of decimal places are called Like Decimals. The numbers given
here are therefore Like Decimals.

Step 2
In order to add the given Like Decimals, let us arrange the digits according to their place value,
i.e., one below the other to make sure that the decimals are also placed correctly. In this manner,
we will place the ones digit below the ones, the tenths digit below the tenths ,and so on.

Step 3
We should remember that the decimal point in the answer should be placed at the same place as
in the addends.

Step 4
Let us add the numbers, digit by digit, starting from the hundredths and carry over, if needed:
Thousands Hundreds Tens Ones . Tenth Hundredth
2 5 6 . 8 2
3 . 6 0
+ 0 . 8 2

2 6 1 . 2 4

Step 5
Hence, when we add the decimals 256.82, 3.6, and 0.82, we get 261.24

(7) A) 749.858

Step 1
Let us first add the first three numbers which are not fractions: 700 + 40 + 9 = 749

Step 2
Let us next convert the last three fractions to decimals:
8
= 0.8
10
5
= 0.05
100
8
= 0.008
1000

Step 3
Let's use the place value chart to add the whole numbers and the decimal numbers as:
Ones| Tenths| Hundredths| Thousandths|
H| T| O| . (1/10)| (1/100)| (1/1000)|
7 4 9 . 0 0 0
0 0 0 . 8 0 0
0 0 0 . 0 5 0
0 0 0 . 0 0 8

Total 7 4 9 . 8 5 8

Legend:
H - Hundreds, T - Tens, O - Ones.

Step 4
Hence, the answer is 749.858.

(8) <

Step 1
In the given problem we must first compare the whole numbers. Here, we see that the whole part
for both the numbers is ‘0’ and hence is equal.

Step 2
However, we know that the given two numbers are not equal. So, let us compare the fractional
part.

Step 3
Comparing the fractional part of the two numbers, we find that .0888 < .0894.

Step 4
Hence, 0.0888 < 0.0894.

(9) 8 Thousandths

Step 1
Let us draw the place value chart to find where the digit 8 is placed in the given number: 1026984
| Lakhs| Thousands| Ones| Tenths| Hundredths| Thousandths| Ten thousandths|
| TL| L| TTH| TH| H| T| O| . (1/10)| (1/100)| (1/1000)| (1/10000)|
1 0 2 . 6 9 8 4

Legend:
TL - Ten Lakhs, L - Lakhs, TTH - Ten Thousands, TH - Thousands, H - Hundreds, T - Tens, O -
Ones.

Step 2
From the above table, we observe that 8 is placed under the Thousandths place.

Step 3
Hence, the place value of 8 in 102.6984 is 8 Thousandths.

(10) 4000.0866

Step 1
Let us first convert the number names into numerals:
8 Hundredths = 8 ÷ 100 = 0.08
66 Ten thousandths = 66 ÷ 10000 = 0.0066
40 Hundreds = 40 × 100 = 4000

Step 2
Let us first add the decimal numbers as below:
| Lakhs| Thousands| Ones| Tenths| Hundredths| Thousandths| Ten thousandths|
| TL| L| TTH| TH| H| T| O| . (1/10)| (1/100)| (1/1000)| (1/10000)|
+ 0 . 0 8 0 0
+ 0 . 0 0 6 6

Total 0 . 0 8 6 6

Legend:
TL - Ten Lakhs, L - Lakhs, TTH - Ten Thousands, TH - Thousands, H - Hundreds, T - Tens, O -
Ones.

Step 3
Let us now add the decimal numbers to the whole number:
| Lakhs| Thousands| Ones| Tenths| Hundredths| Thousandths| Ten thousandths|
| TL| L| TTH| TH| H| T| O| . (1/10)| (1/100)| (1/1000)| (1/10000)|
+ 0 . 0 8 6 6
+ 4 0 0 0 . 0 0 0 0

Total 4 0 0 0 . 0 8 6 6

Step 4
Therefore, by adding 8 Hundredths and 66 Ten thousandths together to 40 Hundreds, we get
4000.0866.

(12) 3.2

Step 1
200
3 is a mixed fraction. A mixed fraction is a combination of a whole number and a proper
1000
fraction.

Step 2
200 200
In the mixed fraction 3 , 3 is a whole number and is a proper fraction.
1000 1000

Step 3
200
To convert the mixed fraction into its decimal form, we shall first convert the proper fraction
1000
into a decimal number and add it to the whole number 3 .

Step 4
200
The proper fraction can be written as 0.2 in its decimal form. Adding the whole number 3
1000
to the decimal number 0.2, we get 3.2.

Step 5
Therefore, the correct answer is 3.2.

(13) 0.8

Step 1
Let us first write the given number name as a fraction:
8

(14) d. Nine tenths

Step 1
Converting the given fraction into decimal form:
9
= 0.9
10

Step 2
Let us now place the decimal number 0.9 in the decimal place value chart.
Hundreds Tens Ones Decimal point Tenths
0 . 9

Step 3
Therefore, 0.9 is read as Nine tenths.

Step 4
Hence, option d is the correct answer.

(15) c. 8, 6

Step 1
Let us arrange the decimal number 0.816 in the place value chart.
Hundreds Tens Ones Decimal point Tenths Hundredths Thousandths
0 . 8 1 6

Step 2
Clearly, 0.816 = 8 tenths + 1 hundredths + 6 thousandths.

Step 3
Hence, option c is the correct answer.
