In the decimal system, digits are assigned different place values depending on whether they are to the left or right of the decimal point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In part (a), the number is 5.68 and the digit 5 is underlined. This digit is located just before the decimal point, which means it lies in the <strong>ones<\/strong> place. Therefore, its place value is <strong>ones<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For part (b), the number is 17.32 with the digit 3 underlined. This digit is the first one after the decimal point. The first digit to the right of the decimal point always occupies the <strong>tenths<\/strong> place. Hence, the place value of 3 is <strong>tenths<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In part (c), the number is 49.91, and the digit 1 is underlined. It is the second digit after the decimal point. The second digit to the right of the decimal point falls in the <strong>hundredths<\/strong> place, making the place value of 1 equal to <strong>hundredths<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Looking at part (d), the number is 75.99 with the digit 9 underlined. The underlined 9 is the first digit after the decimal point, which places it in the <strong>tenths<\/strong> position. Thus, its place value is <strong>tenths<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In part (e), the number is 171.23 and the digit 3 is underlined. The 3 appears in the second position to the right of the decimal point, which corresponds to the <strong>hundredths<\/strong> place. Therefore, its place value is <strong>hundredths<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Understanding place values is fundamental in both whole numbers and decimal numbers, helping in operations such as rounding, comparing, and performing calculations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/learnexams.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/learnexams-banner8-476.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-234713\"\/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Write the place value for the underlined digit: (a) 5.68 = \u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026 (b) 17.32 = \u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026..
