To convert a decimal to its word form, read the decimal like a regular number and then say the place value of the last digit.If there is a whole-number before the decimal point, start by reading that number first and then say "and" for the decimal point. Then, read the digits after the decimal point (skip over the leading zeros) and name the place value of the last digit.For example, if you want to convert 0.84 to its word form:
Read the number after the decimal as "eighty-four"
The last digit (i.e. the "4") is in the thousandths place, so say "thousandths"
So 0.084 in its word form is "eighty-four thousandths"
