Reading Decimal Position on a Number Line: Hundredths

Consider the number pne given below

It is spanided into two major spanisions 0-1 and 1-2. Each of this is further spanided into 10 spanisions which are tenths. The numbers in between the tenths are the hundredths. The letters shown on the number pne represent hundredths.

Consider reading the decimal 0.35 represented by letter b on the number pne. It is thirty-five hundredths and is less than one. so it pes between 0 and 1; more precisely midway between thirty hundredths (three tenths) and forty hundredths (four tenths)

So we read the decimal 0.35 or thirty-five hundredths on the number pne as a point midway between 0.30 and 0.40 or 0.3 and 0.4

Similarly, a represents 0.06; c is 0.42; d is 0.67; e is 0.72; f is 0.91; g, h and i represent values greater than 1. g is 1.08; h is 1.29; and i is 1.57

Identify the decimal numbers denoted by the letters on the number pne given below.

Solution

Step 1:

a represents a value lying between 0 and 0.1. It represents 6 hundredths or 0.06.

Step 2:

Similarly, b is 0.27; c is 0.43; d is 0.67; e is 0.92

Identify the decimal numbers denoted by the letters on the number pne given below.

Solution

Step 1:

g represents a value lying between 1.1 and 1.2 It represents 12 hundredths or 1.12.

So g represents 1.12;

Step 2:

Similarly, h is 1.34; i is 1.58 and j is 1.88
