[honeeyb417]

i don't get it :( maybe i'm just dumb.

can you help me how to read, 0.609

[RoadsideRon]

@honeeyb417 ...First you read the number part, 609 as six hundred nine, just as you would a regular number. Then, the place value is in thousandths, so you read the whole thing as, six hundred nine.....thousandths.

[honeeyb417]

@RoadsideRon Thank you sooo much! i corrected my work, i got mostly all of them wrong haha. Thank you again! :)

[AnimalLovaful]

@honeeyb417 you read it zero and six-hundred nine thousandths

im in excelerated math&ela. imm 11 how old r u

i 4get y i even viewed this vid. wutever

[realasicanget123]

@honeeyb417 you read it zero point six zero nine

[Joilung]

how would you say .010? 10 hundredths?

[Bandaidification]

@Joilung 0.010 would simply be "one hundredth". Zeros beyond the final digit have no value, although you may have placed one in this case to signify that you have rounded to the thousandths place.

You wouldn't call 001.0 "zero hundred and one and zero tenths" would you? It would just be "one"

[RoadsideRon]

@Joilung ....The number part is just ten, and the last place value here is thousandths. So to read this decimal number as it's written is 10...thousandths. That's the way it's presented here. The last zero in the number is unnecessary so you could drop that last zero to get .01 which is one.....hundredths and is the same value as the first number. The reason for the first number is a matter of accuracy. If you want more accuracy you use thousandths instead of hundredths.

[AnimalLovaful]

@Joilung here, the other guy that replied 2 u just thought he was smart&coool bcuz he filled the entire page with filler. the answer is zero and ten tousandths. or ten thousandths.

[devilpuppy1969]

@Joilung ... No, remember that the zero is there in front of the 10 for a reason, it is taking up the tenths place... So the way it is read is, ten...thousanths.

After checking out some of the Practice exams online for college placement test, I realized I need some serious refreshing. Your video was entertainingly perfect for what I need. Thanks!!!
