1. The problem is to understand the number 22.0681 where the digit 6 is underlined. 2. When a digit is underlined in a decimal number, it usually indicates the place value of that digit. 3.

The digit 0 is in the tenths place, 6 is in the hundredths place, 8 is in the thousandths place, and 1 is in the ten-thousandths place. 5.
