Answer:
The value of 9 is [tex]\frac{9}{10}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Since, the place values after decimal are,
Tenth ( [tex]\frac{1}{10}[/tex] ) = first digit after decimal,
hundredth ( [tex]\frac{1}{100}[/tex] ) = second digit after decimal,
thousandth ( [tex]\frac{1}{1000}[/tex] ) = third digit after decimal,
....... so on,
While, the place values before decimal,
ones ( 1 ) = first digit after decimal,
tens ( 10 ) = second digit after decimal,
hundred ( 100 ) = third digit after decimal,
....... so on,
Thus,
[tex]38.97=30+8+\frac{9}{10}+\frac{7}{100}[/tex]
Hence, the value of 9 is [tex]\frac{9}{10}[/tex]
