Decimals: how do you write 215 and 6 hundredths

Answer 1

215.06

Answer 2

Uh oh i wrote it 215.60, what did I do wrong?

Answer 3

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.

Answer 4

Thank you, so so 9 tenths and 2 hundredths would be written as 9.20 ?

Answer 5

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.
