Question

Write the following numbers in words : 3, 05, 09, 012.

Answer 1

Hint:In the question, we have been given few numbers and have been asked to write them in words, and so, we will follow a certain pattern or rule for writing them in that format. For, example, the single-digit numbers are written as it is, so we will follow tat to two-digit numbers. For numbers more than that, that is three-digit, and above, we will consider the place value of the digit while writing the number.

Complete step by step answer:
 To write the answer to this question, we need to understand the working rule for writing numeric values in words. The rules that we need to keep in mind are as follows:
1. The single-digit and two-digit numbers are written as it is the word form too. For example, 2 = two, 6 = six, 22 = twenty two, 44 = forty four.
2. For digits that are of three digits or more, we consider the place values as hundred, thousand, ten thousand, etc. For example, 399 = three hundred ninety-nine, 500 = five hundred, 1250 = one thousand two hundred fifty. So, if we analyse a number, say 1511, then we know that digit 1 is in the thousands place, digit 5 is at hundreds place, 1 is at tens place and again 1 is at the units place. So, we will write the number as one thousand five hundred and eleven.
So, following these above rules, the numbers given to us in the question will be written as follows:
3 = three, 09 = nine, 05 = five and, 012 = twelve.
As we see there are some numbers that have the leading digit as zero. We have to remember that a leading zero does not affect the number, so we consider the number after omitting the leading zero. For example, if we have the number as 0012, then we will omit the two leading zeros and the number will be considered as 12.

Note:
We need to understand that we do not consider the leading zeros in the case of integers. But when the decimal concept has to be considered, we have to keep in mind that the lead zero is of value. We also need to understand the requirement of the question as well, while finding the answer. If we were asked to find the digits in this question instead of writing in words, then we have to consider the zeros too.
