Question

Can't wrap my head around this problem. :-[

Answer 1

D. Five tenths.

It's definitely not A. five ones, or C. five tens, since the 5 is behind the decimal. It's not B. five hundredths either, because that would be the value behind 5 in the tenth place.

Answer 2

Remark

The five is after the decimal point. The 10 in that form is tenths. It represents a number in the denominator. So you would write it as 5/10 and say it as 5 tenths.

The answer is D.
