Given:
17
Determine how many tenths are needed to make the number.
Solution:
When we say tenths, it represents the first digit after the decimal point, denoted as .1. It is followed by hundredths, thousandths, ten thousandths, hundred thousandths, and so on. In order to determine how many tenths does the number have, simply divide the number by .1
= 17/ . 1
= 170
Therefore, 17 has a total of 170 tenths.
