Decimal Form

Here are the answers:

  1. The distance between the playground and your house is one and eighty thousandths kilometers, which can be written as 1.080 kilometers.
  2. There are 4 decimal places in two and two hundred sixteen ten thousandths.
  3. There are 3 decimal places in twenty - three thousandths.

Step-by-step explanation:

When converting a phrase to its decimal form, you have to look for the word “and”, because it signifies where the decimal should be placed. When it comes to decimal places, we need to be wary of the word thousandths or hundredths. When we say hundredths, it should be divided into 100, so there would be two digits. When we say thousandths, it should be divided into 1000, so there would be three digits. When we say ten thousandths, it should be divided into 10000, so there would be four digits.
