Normal

Decimals to hundredths represent parts of a whole using two decimal places. The first decimal place shows tenths, while the second shows hundredths. For example, in the number 0.47, the '4' is in the tenths place, meaning 4 tenths, and the '7' is in the hundredths place, meaning 7 hundredths. This means 0.47 is the same as 47 out of 100, or 47%. To understand this better, imagine you have 100 candies. If you have 47 candies, you can write that as 0.47 in decimal form. Decimals help us easily share and compare parts of numbers!
