How are the 4s in 0.44 related?

Asked by lilBuckwheat

Answer (2)

0.44 are both decimal numbers, they were both placed after the decimals point
=> the value of the first 4 which is placed to the nearest decimal point is tenths
=> and the value of the second 4 placed next to first 4 has a place value of hundredths
When the given number will be converted to fraction, this is what it look like:
=> 44/100
=> 44 / 100 = 0.44
The value of the first 4 are 10 times greater to the value of the second 4.

The two '4's in 0.44 represent different place values. The first '4' stands for tenths ( 4/10 ), and the second for hundredths ( 4/100 ). Thus, 0.44 can also be expressed as the fraction 44/100 .
