1. The problem asks for the value of the digit 6 in the number 48.621. 2. In a decimal number, digits to the right of the decimal point represent fractional parts: tenths, hundredths, thousandths, etc. 3. The first digit after the decimal point is the tenths place, the second is the hundredths place, and the third is the thousandths place. 4. In 48.621, the digit 6 is in the hundredths place. 5. The value of the digit 6 is therefore $6 \times \frac{1}{100} = \frac{6}{100} = 0.06$. 6. So, the digit 6 represents six hundredths or 0.06 in the number 48.621.
