Place value is used to read and write multi-digit decimal numbers.
The number before the decimal point has a 2 in the hundreds place, a 9 in the tens place, and a 1 in the ones place.
This is written as two hundred ninety-one.
The decimal point is written as "and."
The number after the decimal point has a 4 in the tenths place and a 1 in the hundredths place.
Since the last digit is in the hundredths place, this is written as
forty-one hundredths.
So, the number written in words is two hundred ninety-one and
forty-one hundredths.
Ninety-six is written 96.
One hundredth is written so that the last digit is in the hundredths place, 0.01.
So, ninety-six and one hundredth written as a number is 96.01.
