Notice that the place value names to the right of the decimal end with the letters “ths.” Also,
there is no “ones” place to the right of the decimal; it starts at “tenths.”
Read the number after the decimal like a whole number. Then add the place value name of the
last digit.
Examples: Write the decimal in words.
