Hello!

After a decimal the place values are tenths, hundredths, thousandths.

So the 5 is in the hundredths place

Hope this helps!

Answer 2

The five is in the hundredths place. With decimals, there are many places. First there is the tenths, then the hundreths, then the thousands, and then the ten thousandths and so on. Since the four is first, it is in the ten thousandths and the 5 is next so it is in the hundreths.<span />
