Question

Write each of the following decimals in words:
175.04

Answer 1

Hint: In this question, we need to find the place value of each of the digits in the given number in the whole number part and in the decimal part. Now, in any number the digit at the right most in the whole number part is said to be in one's place and the digit before the one's place is said to be in ten's place and so on. Again, after the decimal point in the decimal part the first digit is said to be in tenths place and so on. Here, if we consider the digit 4 it is said to be in hundredths place. Now, in the similar way, write it in words according to its place value including the decimals and write them all together to get the answer.

Complete step-by-step answer:
FACE VALUE AND PLACE VALUE OF THE DIGITS:
In a numeral, the face value of the digit is the value.
In a numerical, the place value of a digit changes according to the change of its place.
In algebra, a decimal number can be defined as a number whose whole number part and the fractional part is separated by a decimal point.
The dot in the decimal number is called a decimal point.
The digits following the decimal point show a value smaller than one.
Let us consider an example 17.48 in which 17 is the whole number part and 48 is the decimal part.
Decimals are based on the preceding powers of 10. Thus as we move from left to right, the place value of digits gets divided by 10.
Now, the place value of the digit just after the decimal point is tenths and the place value of the digit next to the tenths place is hundredths and so on.
Now, the place value of the digit just before the decimal point is one's and the place value of digit before one's place is ten's place and the place value of digit before ten's place is hundredths place.
Now, from the given number in the question 175.04
There is 1 in the hundreds place, 7 in the ten's place, 5 in the one's place, 0 in the tenths place and 4 in the hundredths place.
Now, this 175.04 can be written in words as
One hundred seventy five and four hundredths.

Note:It is important to note that if we change the place of any of the digits then its place value changes accordingly and so the complete number changes respectively.
It is also to be noted that the place value of the first digit after the decimal point is tenths but not something in terms of one as the digit after the decimal is obtained on dividing the number in powers of 10.
