This document discusses the metric system and decimals. It explains that in the metric system and decimals, a measurement can be broken down into multiples of 10, with each subsequent place value being 10 times smaller than the last. Specifically, it notes that a tenth is 1/10 of a whole, a hundredth is 1/10 of a tenth, and a thousandth is 1/10 of a hundredth. The document concludes that because measurements in the metric system can be broken down into multiples of 10 like decimals, we can use decimals to express measurements.

1. When ‘one ‘ is further divided into 10 equal
parts , each part is called a tenth
2. when one tenth is further divided into 10 equal
part , each part is called a hundredth.
3. When one hundredth is further divided into 10
equal parts. Each part is called a thousandth.
4. In the metric system we can break up
measurements in multiples of 10 just like in
decimals.So we use decimals to express
measurements.
