My daughter has brought home some homework, which i have no clue as to how to work out.
It tells us to write in words the value of the underlined digit...so
1. 1.3 (3 is underlined)
2. 3.5 (3 is underlined)
3. 23.1 (1 is underlined)
4. 10.2 (2 is underlined)
5. 16.2 (6 is underlined)
6. 0.9 (9 is underlined)
7. 103.41 (4 is underlined)
8. 271.6 (7 is underlined)
So if i can get to know how this works and how i work it out, that would be a great help. thank you dears.

Surely you remember writing 'H T U' (for hundred, tens and units) above the columns in infants school?
Anything to the LEFT of the decimal point is simply sticking to those rules. So, in Q8, the 2 is in the 'hundreds' column, the 7 is in the 'tens' column and the 1 is in the 'units' column.
Columns to the RIGHT of the decimal point follow the same patter (i.e. you divide by 10 to go from the value of one column to the value of the one to the right of it). So, in Q7, the 4 is in the 'tenths' column and the 1 is in the 'hundredths' column.

Buenchico...do you do private tuition??, i think i need it. I have no maths gcse, i failed it. My maths teacher was a former cop, and he was so strict and intimidating i would just sit there and watch his every move, hence never learnt a thing....(i know my times tables though lol) thanks maths genius buen x.
