3. 0.7 — Seven tenths has no whole ones and 7 in the tenths place: 0.7.
4. 0.35 — 35 hundredths is 3 tenths and 5 hundredths, which is written 0.35.
5. 0.9 — Nine tenths has no whole ones and 9 in the tenths place: 0.9.
6. 0.42 — 42 hundredths is 4 tenths and 2 hundredths: 0.42.

8. 2/3 — 23 = 46, and 46 is less than 56, so 23 is smaller.
