Given Data:
The number is two and seventy two thousandths.
A number written in decimal notation is often called simply a decimal. The position of a digit in a decimal determines the digit’s place value. To write a decimal in standard form, zeros may have to be inserted after the decimal point so that the last digit is in the given place-value position.
Here, seventy two is after the decimel with 2 at the place of ten thousands. Therefore, we have to put two zeros in front of 72.
The number two and seventy two thousandths can be written as,
