Answer 1

ones, ten, hundreds, thousands, ten thousand, ect.

on the right side of the decimal represents a part of a number Ex. .222 is equal to 222/1000 of a number.

Answer 2

The value of 2 is either multiplied by or divided by 10 depending on if you go left or right. Going left multiplies by 10 and right divides by 10. So the 2 farthest left represents 20, which means the 2 just to the right is 20 divided by 10, which is 2.
