Question

The decimal number 11.8 can be read as "eleven and eight tens." True or False

Answer 1

Answer is False
11.8 should be read as "eleven and eight tenths."

Answer 2

I mean it could be read that way but that's the way most people read fractions. 11 and 8/10. Most people I know read decimals like that as 11 point 8. So yes I suppose it's true; it's not wrong, but most people don't say it like that. And I don't know how they taught you to read it in your math course.
