II. What You Need to Know

Discussion:

Before we talk about place

values in the decimal system, let's
take a quick recap on what are
decimal values and place values.

Definitions
The value of a digit based on its position or place in a number
is known as its place value. Consider the number 5,134.4323. The
place value names of different digits in the number are shown in
the figure below.

thousands tenths
hundreds hundredths
tens thousandths
ones ten thousandths

5,234.4323
decimal point

4
 Here, 4 is in ones place, 3 is in tens place, 1 is in hundreds
place, 5 is in thousandths place, and 4 is in tenths place, 3 is in
hundredths place, 2 is in thousandths place, and 3 is in ten
thousandths place.
Decimal values are numbers or figures having one visible
decimal point or as we commonly call a dot somewhere in
between the numbers. Having said that, let's take a look at what is
place value. All the numbers that we see and encounter on a daily
basis in life follow the rules of place value.

Rules for Decimal Place Values

1. The first digit to the left of decimal point is in the ones place.
2. The second digit to the left of decimal point is in the tens place.
3. The third digit to the left of decimal point is in the hundreds place
and so on.
4. The first digit to the right of decimal point is in the tenths place
5. The second digit to the right of decimal point is in hundredths
place.
6. The third digit to the right of decimal point is in thousandths
place.
7. The fourth digit to the right of decimal point is in ten thousandths
place and so on.

Example 1:
Give the digits in ones place and tenths place in the
number 64.89.

Solution:

Step 1: In the given number 64.89, the digit in ones place is 4 as it is

the first digit to the left of decimal point.
Step 2: The digit in tenths place is 8 as it is the first digit to the right
of decimal point.

The digit in the ones place is 4

and the digit in the tenths place is 8.

5
 Example 2:
Give the digits in thousands place and thousandths place
in the number 1,346.3281.

Solution:

Step 1: In the given number 1,346.3281, the digit in thousands place

is 1 as it is the fourth digit to the left of decimal point.
Step 2: The digit in thousandths place is 8 as it is the third digit to the
right of decimal point.

The digit in the thousands place is 1

and the digit in the thousandths place is 8.

Identifying Place Values with Decimals

1,745.2816

What is the place value of the underlined number?

What is the value of the number?

We can start by looking at the place values of all of the

numbers in this number. The decimal point tells us where to start. To
the left of the decimal point is the ones places. To the right of the
decimal point is the tenths places. We then count up or down
based on the powers of ten places.

1 , 7 4 5 . 2 8 1 6

Thousands , Hundreds Tens Ones Decimal Tenths Hundredths Thousandths Thousandths
(× 1000) (× 100) (× 10) (× 1) (× 0.1) (× 0.01) (× 0.001) (× 0.0001)

The problem asks us about the 8 in the number. This number is

located at the hundredths place. It would therefore have a value
of 0.01 x 8 or 0.08.

6
 We start each problem by determining the place of the
number that is highlighted. Then we multiply the number at that
place by the place value itself to determine the final value.

Below are some examples.

In 0.5987, the digit 0 is a place holder of ones place. The digit

5 is in tenths place. Its value is .5. The digit 9 is in the hundredths
place. Its value is 0.09. The digit 8 is in the thousandths place. Its
value is 0.008 and digit 7 is in the ten thousandths place, its value is
.0007. Hence, 0.5987 means five thousand nine hundred eighty-
seven ten thousandths.

 Always Remember

The value of a digit in a given

decimal is the product of
that digit holding the
decimal place and the value
of that position.

F. Nine hundred thousand ninety-nine

II. What You Need to Know

Discussion:
Like whole numbers, we read decimals from left to right. The
digits to the left of the decimal point are read as a whole number,
and the decimal point is read as “and”. The digits to the right of the
point are also read as a whole number, after which we say the
place value of the last digit.
Translating Digits to Words
Consider how the following decimal numbers in the chart are
being read and written in words.

Ten
Hundreds Tens Ones And Tenths Hundredths Thousandths Thousandths

1 0 . 2 1 5 3

2 5 . 3 2 4

0 . 8 7

a. 10.2153

ten and two thousand one hundred fifty-three ten thousandths

14
 • The number to the left of the point is 10. It is read
as “ten”.
• The point (.) is read as “and”.
• The number to the right of the point is 2153. It is
read as “two thousand one hundred fifty three”
• The last digit is 3. It is in the ten thousandths
place, so we say “ten thousandths” after
reading 2153.

b. 25.324

twenty-five and three hundred twenty-four thousandths

• The number to the left of the point is 25. It is read

as “twenty-five”.
• The point (.) is read as “and”.
• The number to the right of the point is 324 . It is
read as “three hundred twenty-four”
• The last digit is 4. It is in the thousandths place, so
we say “thousandths” after reading 324.

c. 0.07

seven hundredths

15
 • When the digit to the left of the point is only zero
just read directly the number to the right of the
point.
• The number to the right of the point is 07, it is
read as seven.
• Zero (0) is used as a placeholder to take the
place of the tenth.
• The last digit is seven, it is in the hundredths
place, so we say hundredths after reading 87.

Translating Words to Digits

Consider how the following are written in standard decimal
form.
a. eight tenths
b. two and nine hundredths
c. two hundred twenty-five and twelve ten thousandths

We can use the place value chart to guide us in translating

word form into decimal form.
a. eight tenths

Ten
Hundreds Tens Ones and Tenths Hundredths Thousandths Thousandths

0 . 8

Eight tenths written in

decimal form is 0.8.

b. two and nine hundredths

Ten
Hundreds Tens Ones and Tenths Hundredths Thousandths Thousandths

2 . 0 9

16
 Two and nine hundredths written in
decimal form is 2.09.

c. two hundred twenty-five and twelve ten thousandths

Ten
Hundreds Tens Ones and Tenths Hundredths Thousandths Thousandths

2 2 5 . 0 0 1 2

Two hundred twenty-five and twelve ten

thousandths in decimal form is 225.0012.

Always Remember

• Read decimals from left to

right, like whole numbers.
• The digits to the left of the
decimal point are read as a
whole number, and the
decimal point is read as “and”.
• The digits to the right of the
point are also read as a whole
number, after which we say the
name of the place value of the
last digit.

II. What You Need to Know

Discussion:

Among the eight planets in

the solar system, Mercury is the © https://tinyurl.com/mercuryplanet

smallest and closest to the Sun

with an orbital period of about
88 Earth days. Seen from the
Earth, it appears to move around its orbit
in about 116 days, which is much faster
than any other planet. Mercury revolves
around the sun at a speed of about 48.8692 km per second.

Let’s round Mercury’s speed (48.8692 km) to the nearest

tenths.

23
 To round a decimal number, let’s follow the following steps:

Step 1. Determine the rounding place and the digit to the right of
the rounding place.

Digit in the rounding

48.8692 place
Digit to the right of
the rounding place

Step 2. The digit in the rounding place is the one that will either
be rounded up or rounded down depending on the digit
to its right.

Digit in the rounding

48.8692 place
Digit to the right of
the rounding place

6 is the digit to the right of 8. Will we round up or round down?

Step 3. Round up: If the digit to the right of the rounding place is
5 or greater (5,6,7,8,9), add 1 to the digit in the rounding
place.
Round down: If it is lower than 5 (0,1,2,3,4), retain and do
not add to the digit in the rounding place.

Digit in the rounding

48.8692 place
Digit to the right of
the rounding place

Since the digit to the right of the rounding place is 6, then, we

round up. We add 1 to the digit in the rounding place.
8+1=9
48.8692 = 48.9692

24
Step 4. Drop or remove all the digits after the rounding place.

Remove all the

digits after 9 48.9692 = 48.9

The answer is 48.9.

Now, let’s try rounding the same number to the nearest

hundredths and thousandths.

Nearest hundredths:
Digit in the rounding
48.8692 place
Digit to the right of
the rounding place

Think: 9 is greater than 5. So, we round up.

Add 1 to the digit in the rounding place.
Drop all the digits after the rounding place.

The answer is 48.87.

Nearest thousandths:
Digit in the rounding
48.8692 place
Digit to the right of
the rounding place

Think: 2 is lesser than 5. So, we round down.

We retain and do not add to the digit in the rounding
place.
Drop all the digits after the rounding place.

The answer is 48.869.

25
 Here are more examples.

Round each decimal to the indicated place.

216.2537 216.3 216.25 216.254

Always Remember
In rounding a decimal number:
1. Determine the rounding place and
the digit to the right of the rounding
place.
2. The digit in the rounding place is the
one that will either be rounded up or
rounded down depending on the
digit to its right.
3. If the digit to the right of the rounding
place is 5 or greater, add 1 to digit in
the rounding place. if it is lower than
5, retain or do not add to the digit in
the rounding place.
4. Drop or remove all the digits after the
rounding place.

26
III. What Have I Learned
APPLICATION
Encircle the digit in the rounding place and underline the digit to
the right of the rounding place. The place value on the parenthesis will
tell you what digit to encircle.

Example:
8.426 (nearest tenths) = 8.426

1. 89.302 (nearest tenths) 4. 35.327 (nearest hundredths)

I. What Happened
Pre-Activities/Pre-Test:

Hi! It’s me, Teacher Kim.

Welcome to another day of
Learning with Teacher Kim.
For today’s lesson, we will be
comparing decimals. But
before we go into that, here
are some quick activities to
get you refreshed!

29
A. Round each decimal to the nearest tenths.
1. 9.57 __________
2. 8.946 __________
3. 2.462 __________
4. 12.638 __________
5. 32.576 __________

B. Round each decimal to the nearest hundredths.

1. 3.3213 __________
2. 4.1788 __________
3. 1.7287 __________
4. 5.1834 __________
5. 12.2435 _________

C. Round each decimal to the nearest thousandths.

1. 4.6556 __________
2. 2.9524 __________
3. 5.87499 __________
4. 52.3589 __________
5. 19.1283 __________

II. What You Need to Know

Discussion:
In comparing decimals, we line up first the decimal points and
the digits in their corresponding place values. Begin comparing the
digits with the same place values from the leftmost digits. Use the
symbols > or < in comparing the digits in the same place value. Take
note of the first pair of digits you see that differ; the decimal with
the bigger digit in this pair is the bigger decimal.

30
 Example:
The length of a sample of different insects in centimeters are
1.47, 0.7, 1.047, and 1.6. Arrange the lengths from greatest to
least.

Solution:
In comparing decimal numbers, line up the decimal points
and the digits in their corresponding place values. In doing so, we
have:
1.47
0.7
1.047
1.6

Then, compare the digits in the same place value. Compare

first the ones digit.

1.47 0.7 1.407 1.6

Most of them have the same value except for 0.7, which has 0
on its ones digit. Since 0 < 1, 0.7 is the smallest.

Next, compare the tenths digit of the remaining three

decimals, since they already have the same ones digit.

1.47 1.047 1.6

As observed, 0 < 4 < 6. Thus, 1.047 < 1.47 < 1.6. Now, list the
numbers from greatest to least.

1.6 1.47 1.407 0.7

The answer is 1.6, 1.47, 1.407, 0.7.

31
 Always Remember

To compare decimals, we need

to:
• Align first the decimal points
and the digits in their
corresponding place values.
• Begin comparing the digits with
the same place values from the
leftmost digits.
• Use the symbols > or < in
comparing the digits in the
same place value.

III. What Have I Learned

Just like whole numbers and

fractions, decimals can also
be arranged from least to
greatest, and from greatest
to least. Let’s test that
learning of yours!

32
APPLICATION
Direction: Arrange the following sets of decimals.
A. From least to greatest
1. 15.09, 15.90, 15.009, 15.909

2. 26.006, 26.606, 2.606, 26.060

3. 404.04, 40.404, 4.404, 404.4

B. From greatest to least

1. 21.216, 21.612, 21.162, 21.621

2. 435.9, 453.9, 45.93, 94.35

3. 3.224, 2.432, 3.422, 4.322

POST TEST
Compare the decimals by writing >, <, or = on the space
provided.

1. 4.2 4.02 6. 165.25 165.3

2. 0.67 0.067 7. 12.06 12.006
3. 9.5 9.500 8. 14.050 14.05
