Renaming Decimal Numbers 5-92
Think flexibly about place value. How many thousandths in .057? There's a 7 in the thousandths place, but 5/100 = 50/1,000, so .057 = 50/1,000 + 7/1,000 = 57/1,000. How many thousandths in .157? Since 1/10 = 100/1,000, .157 = 100/1,000 + 57/1,000 = 157/1,000. Practice grouping more than 1 place value at a time.
