Answer 1

Hint: We will first determine the position of the digit 4 with respect to the decimal point. Then, define the position of the digit 4 in the given number. And then write the value of digit 4 in the given numbers.

Complete step-by-step answer:
We have to tell the value of the digit 4.
Decimal point plays an important role in defining the position of the digit in the number.
The numbers to the left of the decimal have values, like tens, ones, hundreds, etc.
And the numbers to the right of the decimal have the values like, tenths, hundredths, and thousandths.
In the number, 0.487, the digit 4 is to the right of the decimal.
The first digit after the decimal point is known as tenth place.
Here, the value of digit 4 is 4 tenths.
Similarly, we have to tell value of digit 4 in the number 0.0248
In the number, 0.0248, the digit 4 is to the right of the decimal.
The third digit after the decimal point is known as thousandth place.
Here, the value of digit 4 is 4 thousandth.

Note: The place value of the digits are as given below:

Ten thousands	Thousands	Hundreds	Tens	Ones	.	Tenths	hundredths	thousandth
TTh	TH	H	T	O	.	t	h	th

Every digit in a number has a particular place value depending on its position.
