The number is pronounced as three and eight hundred seventy-two thousandths rather than the option given.
Therefore, only 3 if the options are correct
Answer: The 7 is in the hundredths place.
The 3 is in the ones place.
3.872 is equivalent to (3 × 1) + (8 × 0.1) + (7 × 0.01) + (2 × 0.001).
Step-by-step explanation:
In the question, 3 is in the ones place. The first number after the decimal point is the tenths. In the question, the place value of 8 is 8 tenths; 7 is in the hundredths place.
3.872 = (3 × 1) + (8 × 0.1) + (7 × 0.01) + (2 × 0.001)
= 3 + 0.8 + 0.07 + 0.002
= 3.872
The number is pronounced as three and eight hundred seventy-two thousandths
