The digit 4 has a value of 4/10 in which one of the following?

Question

A) 5.0427

B) 4.6817

C) 3.4029

D) 2.0147

Answer 1

Decimals have place value:

• 0.1 = 1/10 (tenths)
• 0.01 = 1/100 (hundredths)
• 0.001 = 1/1000 (thousandths)
• 0.0001 = 1/10,000 (ten thousandths)
• etc ...

 

So the first decimal place (0.1) is the "tenths" (1/10) place.  In which number is the 4 occupying the first decimal place?
