This understanding links a quantity to decimal notation through place value: the first and second digits to the right of the decimal point represent tenths and hundredths, respectively. It includes writing decimals from words, fractions with denominators of 10 or 100, money or measurement contexts, and visual models; zeros must be used as meaningful placeholders (for example, 0.5 = 0.50, while 0.05 is five hundredths). The scope is limited to decimals through hundredths, not thousandths or more advanced decimal notation.
