Verified Answer :

it is the tenths place

Answer:

The value of 9 is \(\frac{9}{10}\)

Step-by-step explanation:

Since, the place values after decimal are,

Tenth  ( \(\frac{1}{10}\) )  = first digit after decimal,

hundredth ( \(\frac{1}{100}\) ) = second digit after decimal,

thousandth ( \(\frac{1}{1000}\) ) = third digit after decimal,

....... so on,

While, the place values before decimal,

ones  ( 1 )  = first digit after decimal,

tens ( 10 ) = second digit after decimal,

hundred ( 100 ) = third digit after decimal,

....... so on,

Thus,

\(38.97=30+8+\frac{9}{10}+\frac{7}{100}\)

Hence, the value of 9 is \(\frac{9}{10}\)
