How it works
Tenths come first after the point. Hundredths come second.
Ten hundredths make one tenth.
0.89 is 89 hundredths, which is 89/100.
Worked examples
Read a shaded part
- A bar has 10 equal parts and 5 are shaded.
- 5 of 10 is 5/10.
- As a decimal that is 0.5.
Write as a fraction
- Write 0.89 as a fraction.
- The decimal 0.89 has two places after the point.
- Two places means hundredths.
- So the answer is 89/100.
Add a tenth and a hundredth
- Add 7/10 and 6/100 as a decimal.
- 7/10 is 0.7 and 6/100 is 0.06.
- 0.7 + 0.06 = 0.76.
- So the answer is 0.76.
