Solution Steps

To write the word name for a decimal, you need to express the whole number part in words, followed by the decimal part. The decimal part is expressed by stating the digits and the place value of the last digit. For the decimal 652.05, the whole number part is "six hundred fifty-two" and the decimal part is "five hundredths" because the last digit 5 is in the hundredths place.

The given decimal number is \(652.05\). The whole number part is \(652\).

The decimal part of the number is \(0.05\). This is obtained by subtracting the whole number part from the original number: \[ 652.05 - 652 = 0.05 \]

The whole number \(652\) is expressed in words as "six hundred fifty-two."

The decimal part \(0.05\) is expressed in words as "five hundredths" because the digit 5 is in the hundredths place.

Combine the whole number part and the decimal part in words: "six hundred fifty-two and five hundredths."
