Answer key · Set A
Decimals to Thousandths
10.004 Thousandths is the third place after the point. Two zeros hold the tenths and hundredths.
20.307 Read the places from the point: 3 tenths, 0 hundredths, 7 thousandths.
36 hundredths The places after the point go tenths, hundredths, thousandths. The 6 is in the second place.
41-A, 2-C, 3-B, 4-D The last word names the last place. Zeros hold places that have no digit.
53.042 3 ones, 0 tenths, 4 hundredths, 2 thousandths.
6four and sixty-two thousandths Read what follows the point as one count: sixty-two. The last digit is in the thousandths place.
77.245 7 ones, 2 tenths, 4 hundredths and 5 thousandths.
8The first number is greater. Compare from the left. The ones are equal, then the first has 3 tenths and the second only 2 tenths.
9False The tenths are equal, then 5 hundredths is more than 0 hundredths. So 0.45 is greater.
10True The places go tenths (4), hundredths (0), thousandths (6). The zero holds a place.
111, 4, 3, 2 Compare from the left. 0.093 has no tenths, so it is least. 0.309 and 0.39 each have 3 tenths, and 9 hundredths is more than 0.
1221.073 Seventy-three thousandths is 0.073, with a zero holding the tenths place.
