Multiple Choice Questions on Decimal Place Value (Grade 6 CS)

📚 Quick Study Guide

• 🔢 Decimal place values extend to the right of the decimal point (tenths, hundredths, thousandths, etc.).
• 📍 Each place value is $\frac{1}{10}$ the value of the place to its left.
• 🧮 Understanding place value helps in comparing and ordering decimals.
• ✍️ Writing decimals in expanded form shows the value of each digit. For example, $3.125 = (3 \times 1) + (1 \times \frac{1}{10}) + (2 \times \frac{1}{100}) + (5 \times \frac{1}{1000})$.
• ➕ Decimal place value is crucial for performing arithmetic operations (addition, subtraction, multiplication, division) with decimals.
• 🔍 When comparing decimals, start by comparing the whole number parts. If they are the same, compare the digits in the tenths place, then the hundredths place, and so on.
