Question

What is hundreds value of 54,927.2382

Answer 1

It may seem like I'm playing the game, "I went to the store and bought Apples, Bananas, Cookies, ... and Doughnuts."

 

The Decimal Number system is a positional number system.  We'd have to do some research to find out how to represent 54,927.2382 with Roman Numerals !

 

The digit 9 in hundreds place means that the number has 900 (or 9 hundreds) as part of it.

 

Don't confuse this with the digit 3 in hundredths place. It means that the number has 3/100 (or 3 hundredths) as part of it.  This seems to be one reason this number is written with 4 digits after the decimal point.

 

So, there is:

    ones place and a decimal point

    tens place vs. tenths place

    hundreds place vs. hundredths place

    . . .

    millions place vs. millionths place

   . . .
