Question

What is the value of 6 in 4.769

Answer 1

The correct answer is:

6/100.

Explanation:

We look at place value to answer this. The digit in front of the decimal is the ones; directly after the decimal we have the tenths; behind this we have the hundredths; and behind this we have the thousandths.

6 is two places behind the decimal; this is the hundredths place. This means it is six hundredths, or 6/100.

Answer 2

Answer: 6 hundredths.

Explanation:

The given number is :
`4.769`

When we look at the given number from the left, we find that :

The place value of 4 = 4 ones [right most digit before decimal]

The place value of 7 is 7 tenths [left most digit after decimal]

The place value of 6 is 6 hundreds [rightmost to the tenth place]

The place value of 9 is 9 thousandths [rightmost to the hundredth place]

Hence, the place value of 6 in the given number
`4.769` is 6 hundredths.
