Answer key · Set B
Reading and Writing Thousandths
10.006 Thousandths is the third place after the point. Two zeros hold the tenths and hundredths.
24.016 Read the places: 4 ones, 0 tenths, 1 hundredth and 6 thousandths.
38 hundredths The places after the point go tenths, hundredths, thousandths. The 8 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.
56.038 6 ones, 0 tenths, 3 hundredths, 8 thousandths.
6seven and two hundred five thousandths Read what follows the point as one count: two hundred five. The last digit is in the thousandths place.
79.103 9 ones, 1 tenth, 0 hundredths and 3 thousandths.
8The second number is greater. Compare from the left. The ones and tenths are equal, then the first has 5 hundredths and the second 6 hundredths.
9True Zeros at the end of a decimal do not change its value. 7 tenths is 700 thousandths.
10False The tenths place holds 0. The 6 is in the hundredths place.
111, 4, 3, 2 Compare from the left. 0.058 has no tenths. Then 0.508 and 0.58 each have 5 tenths, and 8 hundredths is more than 0 hundredths.
1213.004 Four thousandths is 0.004, with zeros holding the tenths and hundredths. So the number is 13.004.
