Decimals are what show what part of the whole They also have their own place value like the whole numbers for example:

1:Millions 2:Hundred thousands 3:Ten thousands 4:Thousands 7:Hundreds 4:Tens 9:Ones

If the number has decimals 1hundreths 2tens 3ones 4tenths 5hundeths

If you see all the numbers end with an “THS”, there is a perfectly logical explanation. A decimal is a part of a whole but what else shows that? A FRACTION 1/10 for example would be equal with 0.1 why is that because 1/10 is not a whole number the denominator is 10 so it will go at the Tenths place and place a one. If you see a mixed fraction it will probably look like this 2 3/100. So you see a two the two is a whole number so instead of writing a zero in the beginning you will write a two.
