A place value chart shows the value of the digits in a number. In greater numbers each group of three digits is separated by commas, and is called a period.
The place value chart that you used for whole numbers can be extended to include decimals.

How can the word form of a fraction help you write the fraction as a decimal?
The word form (tenths 1/10, hundredths 1/100, thousandths1/1000) helps you determine how many digits to place to the right of the decimal point.
1/10 ------- One tenth
1/100 ------ One Hundredth
