Decimal Place Value: Tenths and Hundredths

The decimal point separates whole-number places from fractional places. One tenth is one of 10 equal parts of a whole, one hundredth is one of 100 equal parts, and 10 hundredths equal 1 tenth.

Quick preparation

  • The decimal point separates whole-number places from fractional places. One tenth is one of 10 equal parts of a whole, one hundredth is one of 100 equal parts, and 10 hundredths equal 1 tenth.
  • Use this routine: Build the whole → Partition into tenths → Partition into hundredths → Write decimal → Rename → Compare.
  • Watch for longer decimal is larger: 0.75 is not automatically larger than 0.8; compare tenths first by writing 0.8 as 0.80.

SkillrHub Practice guide

Use this short shuffled practice set to check the skill, read feedback and review missed items. Repeat quiz practice to access more of the full question bank over time.

Model: The whole has 10 equal parts. Six are shaded, so the shaded amount is six tenths, written 0.6.
  • Worked example: For 2.36, the 2 means 2 ones, the 3 means 3 tenths and the 6 means 6 hundredths. A zero holds an empty place: 2.06 has 0 tenths and 6 hundredths.
  • Common mistake: Do not read hundredths as whole numbers. In 0.45, the 4 is worth 0.4 and the 5 is worth 0.05.
  • Assessment guidance: Use this short shuffled set for one attempt. Repeat quiz practice to get access to more of the full question bank over time.
  • Review: Use a place-value chart or a whole split into 100 equal parts to explain each digit.
