Trying - Two hundred and forty five million six hundred and seventy eight thousand nine hundred and thirty one.

The first number on the right is the units or ones digits, the second from the right (9) is the tens digit. Okay, so far?

Ok. Following.

#38 Re: Help Me ! » Pronouncing figures in words. » 2017-03-25 21:56:19

Ok seems I am getting a thing.
Is it that I should always group them in threes? it if so then somehow I am getting it.

#39 Re: Help Me ! » Pronouncing figures in words. » 2017-03-25 21:43:46

Why did you start with saying Million?
what rule made you called it "million?"

#40 Re: Help Me ! » Pronouncing figures in words. » 2017-03-25 21:35:54

Please do you have a link that is treating place value? in this fora?

#41 Re: Help Me ! » Pronouncing figures in words. » 2017-03-25 21:33:43

So, should always be grouped in threes?
If then check on this;
4567893. I would  say; four hundred  and fifty six thousand,  seven hundred and eighty nine and three .
Correct?

#43 Re: Help Me ! » Pronouncing figures in words. » 2017-03-25 21:15:06

Is it about place value?

How do we go about this: 456789.

Hi everyone;

I'm dealing with graph problems with the class boundaries on the horizontal axis against the cummulative frequency on the vertical axis. The upper class boundary on the horizontal axis reads;
9.5,  19.5,  29.5, 39.5,  49.5,  59.5,  69.5,  79.5, 89.5,  99.5...

The above decimals are on the deepend perpendicular lines of the horizonal lines.
How are you going to count using the thin lines on the graph from one decimal to another?
I tried counting by saying 9.5 then to 10.5 then to 11.5 then to 12.5 then to 13.5 is the counting correct?
