Lesson 4: Decimals in written form

Decimals in written form review

Google Classroom

Review writing decimals in written form, and try some practice problems.

Written form

Written form is a way to write numbers using only words.

Example

Let's write

3.405

in written form.

Ones	.	Tenths	Hundredths	Thousandths
$3$ ‍	.	$4$ ‍	$0$ ‍	$5$ ‍

3.405 = 3 ones + 405 thousandths

First, we will read the number to the left of the decimal.

$Three$ ‍

Then, we read the decimal as "

and

$Three and$ ‍

Finally, we read the numbers to the right of the decimal and state the place value of the digit farthest to the right.

$Three and$ ‍ $four hundred five thousandths$ ‍

3.405

in written form is three and four hundred five thousandths.

Nine and three hundred twenty-one thousandths

As an Englishman i have never heard someone say "four hundred five thousandths" and that just sounds very strange to my ears. Here you would say "four hundred and five thousandths". I'm not sure if this is a dialect difference in America or whether this is an actual mistake on the site?
