Which place value is the second digit to the right of the decimal point?

• A. Tenths place
• B. Hundredths place
• C. Thousandths place
• D. Pictograph

Answer: (B)

Understanding decimal place values: the first digit to the right of the decimal point is the tenths place, the second digit to the right is the hundredths place, and the third is the thousandths place. So the second digit after the decimal is the hundredths place, which represents hundredths of a unit (0.01, 0.02, etc.). For example, in 0.46, the 4 sits in the tenths place and the 6 sits in the hundredths place. A pictograph is a type of chart, not a place value in a number.
