The second digit after the decimal point in a number is 4. What is the value of 4 in the number? 1 thousandth 4 thousandths 1 hundredth 4 hundredths

Answer 1

4 hundredths

Explanation:

For values of decimals one should note that each additional digit after the decimal is a multiple of (1/10).

Using this knowledge, the first digit would be tenths, the second digit hundredths, the third digit thousandths, etc.

Hence a 4 in the second digit after the decimal would be equivalent to 4 * (1/100) = (4/100) or 4 hundredths.
