Question

Place values for 249.673

Answer 1

Hi! 

This question is worded a little funny, but i think in understand what it's asking. Forgive me if i'm wrong. 

Place values in math are pretty self-explanatory. It's just asking you what place each number is in.

For example:

If you were to write the number 12, the 1 would be in the tens place and the 2 would be in the ones place. 

When speaking about decimals, you pretty much just have to add the letters 'th' to the end of the place value, but instead of decreasing as the numbers grow smaller, you increase and the ones place doesn't exist. 

So in this case:

With 249.637, 2 is in the hundreds place. 4 is in the tens place. 9 is in the ones place. 6 is in the tenths place. 7 is in the hundreths place. 3 is in the thousandths place. 

Hope this helps :)
