Question

Each digit 8 in the number 8.888 has a different value placed on its place in the place-value chart. Each 8 is multiplied by its place value. I've made up a song to help you remember this. What is the rule that this is referring to? Write the rule below.

Answer 1

Answer:

The value of every digit in a decimal figure is given by its position in that figure.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Rule:

The value of every digit in a decimal figure is given by its position in that figure.

For the figure 8.888, from left to right,

The first 8 is in units

The second 8 is in tenth (this means 8/10 = 0.8)

The third 8 is in hundreth (this means 8/100 = 0.08)

The fourth 8 is in thousandth (this means 8/1000 = 0.008)

The sum of the place values of the digits after the decimal point = 0.888

when the unit 8 is added, you then get 8.888
