Question

Ajay reads aloud from a sports magazine. He comes across the measurement 0.63 kilometer. How should he read this measurement aloud? Explain how you know.​

Answer 1

"sixty-three hundredths of a Kilometer"

Explanation:

Decimal measurements are read based on the place of their digits. In this case, Ajay would read this measurement as "sixty-three hundredths of a Kilometer". This is because the final digit of the decimal form measurement is in the "hundredths" position. One more to the right and it would be in the "thousandths" while one more to the left would be the "tenths"
