Answer:

Here's what I get

Explanation:

Each digit in a number has a place value, based on its distance from the decimal point.

The value of a digit is the digit multiplied by its place value.

The place value of a digit increases by a factor of 10 as we move left on the place value chart and decreases by a factor of 10 as we move right.

Numbers to the left of the decimal point increase in the order: ones, tens, hundreds, thousands, etc.

Numbers to the right of the decimal point decrease in the order: tenths, hundredths, thousandths, etc.

So, we put the digits of 5.55 on the chart according to their place value.
