Question

Write each of the following as decimals:
Five hundred twenty-five and forty hundredths.

Answer 1

Hint: For this problem we need to write name of number into decimals. By following a few steps we will solve this problem. These are:
We should write the number for the name from the left to the decimal point.
We will write “and” for the decimal point.
We should name the “number” part to the right of the decimal point as if it were a whole number.
We should name the decimal place of the last digit.

Complete step-by-step answer:
It is given that; Five hundred twenty-five and forty hundredths.
We have to write the numbers in decimals.
To find in decimals we need to follow some steps. These are:
Step 1: We should write the number for the name from the left to the decimal point.
By using the step 1 in our given left of the name is forty hundredths. It will be written as
$ \Rightarrow 40$
Step 2: We will write “and” for the decimal point.
By the step 2 we have write decimal point for the word “and”
$ \Rightarrow .40$
Step 3: We should name the “number” part to the right of the decimal point as if it were a whole number.
By using step 3 the right of the decimal point Five hundred twenty-five we should write it as a whole number.
$ \Rightarrow 525$
Step 4: We should name the decimal place of the last digit.
$ \Rightarrow 525.40$
Using follow the steps the number can be written as:

Hundreds	Tens	Ones	And	Tenths	Hundredths
5	2	5	Point	4	0

$\therefore $ The given decimal can be written as: \[525.40\]

Note: Our decimal system of numbers lets us write numbers as large or as small as we want, using a symbol called the decimal point. In our number system, digits can be placed to the left and right of a decimal point, to indicate numbers greater than one or less than one. The decimal point helps us to keep track of where the "ones" place is. It's placed just to the right of the ones place. As we move right from the decimal point, each number place is divided by 10.
