Question

Think about using decimal models to show 6.84. If you only used tenths what place would you not be able to model?

Answer 1

You would not be able to model the hundredths because it comes after the tenths place.

Answer 2

Therefore, we cannot model 6.84 wherever we refer hundredths place.

Examples:

Referring money, length of things which is combination of meters and centimeters, measuring lands and so on.

Explanation:

The given decimal number is 6.84

We have two digits after the decimal points, that is tenths and hundredths.

.8 =
`(8)/(10)`

.04 =
`(4)/(100)`

Here the question is in what place are we not able to use when we use tenths place only.

We cannot use this model when mention the money because $100 = 100 cents

and measuring the lengths in combination of meter and centimeter because 1 meter = 100 centimeters

Therefore, we cannot model 6.84 wherever we refer hundredths place.

Examples:

Referring money, length of things which is combination of meters and centimeters, measuring lands and so on.
