"My answer is right, but the decimal point is in the wrong place." Can this statement ever be correct? Explain. (See Objective.)
Read and write decimal numbers. A decimal number is any number written with a decimal point, such as 6.8, 5.375, or $7.50. Decimals, like fractions, can be used to represent parts of a whole. Section discussed how to read the digits to the left of the decimal point (whole numbers). Now we will see how to read the digits to the right of the decimal point, which always end in "th" or "ths."
