Write this as a decimal number. 71t tens + 6 tenths + 147 thousandths<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The correct answer and explanation is:<\/mark><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

To express the number “71t tens + 6 tenths + 147 thousandths” as a decimal, first, we need to break down each part of the expression:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. 71t tens<\/strong>: The term “t tens” appears to be a typo or abbreviation for “tens,” referring to the number of tens. “71t tens” would be equivalent to 710<\/strong> (since 71 tens equals 710).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. 6 tenths<\/strong>: Tenths represent one decimal place to the right of the decimal point. Thus, 6 tenths is written as 0.6<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. 147 thousandths<\/strong>: Thousandths represent three decimal places to the right of the decimal point. Therefore, 147 thousandths is written as 0.147<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Now, putting these parts together:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    • 710 (from 71t tens)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • 0.6 (from 6 tenths)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • 0.147 (from 147 thousandths)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

      We combine these components to form the decimal number:
      710.747<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Thus, the correct decimal representation of “71t tens + 6 tenths + 147 thousandths” is 710.747<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      This process involves understanding place value in our number system. Each position in a number corresponds to a specific power of 10, depending on whether it’s to the left or right of the decimal point. The tens position is 10^1, tenths is 10^-1, and thousandths is 10^-3. By converting each part into its proper place value and then combining them, we get the final decimal representation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
