Question

How do you write \[1.08\] in word form?

Answer 1

Hint: Use the place value chart for writing the larger numbers in word form as the number we have given is very small. We can write it without the place value chart just by applying simple logic.

Complete Step by Step Solution:
The number which we have given to convert in words is \[1.08\].
\[1\] is the whole number. We can write it as ”One”. And \[0.8\] is written as ‘eight hundredth’ because the decimal is in the hundredth place.
SO, the given number \[1.08\]. We can write it as ‘one and eight hundredths’.
\[1.08\] is spoken/written as ‘One and eight hundredths’.

Additional Information
For the digits in the thousands period or higher use the rules you used for numbers \[100-999\] and then add the same of the period.
Let's try it with \[29,035\]. Write the thousands period. ‘Twenty nine thousand write the ones period thirty five’.
Put them together and you write \[29,035\] as ‘twenty nine thousand thirty five’.
Let’s try another example with 2,562,712.
Write the millions period $to$ two million
Write the thousands period $\to$ five hundred sixty two thousand
 Write the ones period $\to$ Seven hundred twelve
Now combine all together
You write \[2,562,712\] as two millions five hundred sixty two thousand seven hundred twelve.

Note: We can write large number in word form using place value chart:

Remember that each group of three digits is called a period.
