5.64

0

5.0064

0

Sixty-four thousandths is 0.064, so five and sixty-four thousandths is 5.064. Choice A is sixty-four hundredths (0.64), B includes ten-thousandths, and D places the 6 in the hundredths place instead of the thousandths.

3

A player's season scoring average is 3.728 points per game. Which expanded form matches 3.728?

$3 \times 1 + 7 \times \frac{1}{100} + 2 \times \frac{1}{10} + 8 \times \frac{1}{1000}$

0

$3 \times 1 + 7 \times \frac{1}{10} + 2 \times \frac{1}{100} + 8 \times \frac{1}{1000}$

CORRECT

$3 \times 10 + 7 \times 1 + 2 \times \frac{1}{10} + 8 \times \frac{1}{100}$

0

$3 \times 1 + 7 \times \frac{1}{1000} + 2 \times \frac{1}{100} + 8 \times \frac{1}{10}$

0

Explanation

In 3.728, 7 is in the tenths place, 2 is in the hundredths place, and 8 is in the thousandths place: $3 + 7\cdot\frac{1}{10} + 2\cdot\frac{1}{100} + 8\cdot\frac{1}{1000}$. The other choices mix up the tenths, hundredths, and thousandths.

0

$3.703 > 3.730$

0
