Question

38.97 what is the value digit of 9

Answer 1

it is the tenths place

Answer 2

The value of 9 is
`(9)/(10)`

Explanation:

Since, the place values after decimal are,

Tenth (
`(1)/(10)` ) = first digit after decimal,

hundredth (
`(1)/(100)` ) = second digit after decimal,

thousandth (
`(1)/(1000)` ) = third digit after decimal,

....... so on,

While, the place values before decimal,

ones ( 1 ) = first digit after decimal,

tens ( 10 ) = second digit after decimal,

hundred ( 100 ) = third digit after decimal,

....... so on,

Thus,

`38.97=30+8+(9)/(10)+(7)/(100)`

Hence, the value of 9 is
`(9)/(10)`
