Decimals: how do you write 215 and 6 hundredths
Answered by Ms. Sue
215.06
Answered by dee
Uh oh i wrote it 215.60, what did I do wrong?
Answered by Ms. Sue
Yes. Zeroes at the end of a decimal number don't count in its value.

What you wrote is 215 and sixty hundredths -- which is the same as 215 and 6 tenths.

Thank you, so so 9 tenths and 2 hundredths would be written as 9.20 ?
Answered by Ms. Sue
No.

9 tenths and 2 hundredths = 0.92

Think about money.

Nine-tenths of a dollar is 0.9 or 9 dimes.

Two hundredths of a dollar is 0.02 or cents.
