Question

In the number 11.278, the 7 is located in the _____ place.

A.) tenths
B.) thousandths
C.) hundredths
D.) ones

Answer 1

B.) thousandths because the first one is tenths and the second is hundredths. Also because it is after the decimal

Answer 2

Hey there!

Anything behind the decimal point has a "th" in it, so we could eliminate option as your answer

`\bullet \: \text{1 \: is \: in \: the \: ones \: place} \\ \\ \bullet \: \text{1 \: is \: in \: the \: tens \: place}`

.

`\bullet \: \: \text{2 \ is \ in \ the \: tenths \ place}`

`\bullet \: \ \text{7 \: is \: in \: the \: hundredths \: place} \: \: \checkmark`

`\bullet \: \text{8 \: is \: in \: the \: thousandths \: place}`

Thus your answer is:

`\large\text \: {{answer}\boxed{ \bf{b.hundredths} \: \: \: \checkmark}}`

Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day!
