What is a decimal?

A decimal is a system of numbers based on the number ten, where each place value is a power of ten. Decimals include a decimal point, which separates the whole number part from the fractional part. Decimal numbers can represent values that fall between whole numbers and are used in various mathematical operations such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.

How do you read and write decimal numbers?

To read decimal numbers, you start from the left and move to the right, separating whole numbers from the decimal point and the decimal fraction. For example, 123.45 would be read as "one hundred twenty-three point four five". To write decimal numbers, place the whole number to the left of the decimal point and the decimal fraction to the right. For example, 3.75 is written as "3 and 75 hundredths".

What is the place value of each digit in a decimal number?

In a decimal number, the place value of each digit is based on its position relative to the decimal point. The digits to the left of the decimal point represent whole numbers and their place values increase by a power of 10 from right to left (ones, tens, hundreds, etc.). The digits to the right of the decimal point represent parts of a whole and their place values decrease by a negative power of 10 from left to right (tenths, hundredths, thousandths, etc.).

How do you convert a decimal to a fraction?

To convert a decimal to a fraction, you can follow these steps: 1. Write down the decimal as a fraction with the decimal value as the numerator and a power of 10 as the denominator (e.g., for 0.75, write 75/100) 2. Simplify the fraction by dividing both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common factor to get the final fraction (e.g., 75/100 simplifies to 3/4).

What is a terminating decimal?

A terminating decimal is a decimal number that has a finite number of digits after the decimal point. This means that the decimal number will eventually come to an end and not continue infinitely.

What is a repeating decimal?

A repeating decimal is a decimal number in which one or more digits are repeated infinitely after the decimal point, indicated by a bar placed over the repeating digits. This indicates that the pattern of digits after the decimal point goes on indefinitely.

How do you convert a repeating decimal to a fraction?

To convert a repeating decimal to a fraction, you first need to identify the repeating pattern. Let's say your repeating decimal is 0.3333... The "33" repeats indefinitely. To convert this to a fraction, set it as "x." Subtracting 10x from 3 gives you 3x=0.3333... Subtracting x from 10x gives you 9x=0.3. Divide both sides by 9; you'll get x=1/3. Therefore, 0.3333... = 1/3.

How do you add and subtract decimals?

To add and subtract decimals, line up the decimal points vertically and then carry out the addition or subtraction as you would with whole numbers. Be sure to align the decimal points to keep the places consistent. Add or subtract the numbers as usual, then carry the decimal point straight down into your answer. Keep in mind that you may need to add trailing zeros to maintain place values if necessary.

How do you multiply decimals?

To multiply decimals, you simply multiply the numbers as if they were whole numbers, then count the total number of decimal places in the factors being multiplied and place the same number of decimal places in the product. If necessary, add zeros at the end of the product to maintain the correct number of decimal places.

How do you divide decimals?

To divide decimals, first, make sure the divisor (the number you're dividing by) is a whole number by moving the decimal point to the right until it becomes a whole number. Next, move the decimal point in the dividend (the number being divided) the same number of places to the right. Divide as if you were dividing whole numbers, then place the decimal point in the quotient directly above where it is in the dividend. If needed, add zeros as placeholders to the right of the dividend before continuing the division process.
