In the above image:
 
\(2\) hundreds box + \(3\) tens box + \(5\) ones box + \(4\) tenths box
 
200+30+5+410=235.4
 
This number can be read as "two hundred thirty-five and four tenths".
 
It also can be read as "two hundred thirty-five point four".
 
This also can be represented in the place value table.
