Tuesday: Hundredths
Lizzy the Lizard finds a fallen stick on the trail. "Let us measure this one," she says.
Bennie the Bear unrolls a tape measure. "A meter has 100 centimeters," he explains.
"Each centimeter is one hundredth of a meter."
The stick reaches the 62 mark. Lizzy scribbles in her notebook.
"Sixty-two hundredths of a meter," she reads. "That is 62/100."
"And as a decimal, it is 0.62 meter," says Bennie.
Lizzy grins. "Hundredths are tiny. I will need my magnifying glass!"
Learn it: hundredths as decimals
Cut one whole into 100 equal parts. Each part is one hundredth.
62 squares out of 100 is 62/100. As a decimal, it is 0.62.
0.62 is 6 tenths and 2 hundredths. Six full columns are 6 tenths.
The second place after the decimal point is the hundredths place.
One tenth is the same as ten hundredths.
So 3/10 = 30/100. Both show the same amount.
