In the number shown, which digit is in the hundredths place? 589.127

0.02 is in the hundredths place.

Step-by-step explanation:

The decimal point represents the great divide between whole numbers and fractions of whole numbers.

The first digit behind the decimal point is called the “Tenths” place. Since you can get a whole number “one” (which is what the first digit in front of the decimal point is called) you can’t possible have a “one...ths” place.

Right after tenths you have hundredths. (which is what you’re looking for.) This is the second digit behind the decimal point.

After that you have thousandths, ten thousandths, and so on.

Pay close attention to the spelling. “Hundredths” and “hundred” are look similar but could be the difference between an A and an F.

Hope this helped! :)
