Accepted Answer

Welcome back. I am so glad you're here. We are given some conditions and we are to choose a an answer choice that fulfills these conditions. So the first condition condition A is that there's a seven in the hundreds place. So if we've got a decimal, where is the hundreds place? While moving to the left of the decimal? The first place here is the ones or the units place. The second place here is the tens place. And the third place moving to the left is the hundreds place. So we need to have a seven there in the hundreds place. The second condition is that there needs to be a two in the tens place. Well we already said that two to the left of the decimal is the tens place. So that's where R two goes now. We're also told that conditions see a six will be in the 10th place. Where's the 10th place? Well we recall from previous lessons that moving to the right of the decimal point. The first position is the 10th place. So that's where our six will be. We look at our answer choices and this matches with answer choice B where we have 720. 1.621. Alright, well done. We'll catch you on the next one
