Convert Mixed Number to Decimal: Reading 451 1/2 from Place Value Chart

To solve this problem, let's identify each digit's position in the given chart:

• The columns of the chart correspond to the place values of the number, listed as thousands (1000), hundreds (100), tens (10), ones (1), tenths (0.1), and hundredths (0.01).

• According to the chart, the digits are organized as follows:

  • In the hundreds column (100): the digit is $4$.

  • In the tens column (10): the digit is $5$.

  • In the ones column (1): the digit is $1$.

  • In the tenths column (0.1): no digit or zero is in this column, which means $0$.

  • In the hundredths column (0.01): the digit is $2$.

• Thus, arranging these digits in their respective place values, the number is $451.02$.

Therefore, the number represented as a decimal is $451.02$.
