What is the value of a decimal number with three decimal places?

The value of a decimal number with three decimal places is determined by the digits after the decimal point. Each decimal place represents a power of 10, with the first decimal place after the point representing tenths, the second representing hundredths, and the third representing thousandths.

How can you add two decimal numbers with different place values?

To add two decimal numbers with different place values, align the decimal points of the numbers and add leading zeros to make them have the same number of decimal places. Then, perform the addition as you would with whole numbers, carrying over any excess digits. Finally, place the decimal point in the sum in line with the decimal points of the numbers being added to get the final answer.

How can you convert a fraction into a decimal number?

To convert a fraction into a decimal number, you simply divide the numerator (the top number) by the denominator (the bottom number). The result of this division will give you the decimal equivalent of the fraction.

How can you convert a decimal number into a percentage?

To convert a decimal number into a percentage, you simply need to multiply the decimal by 100. This will give you the equivalent percentage representation of the decimal. For example, if you have a decimal number of 0.75, to convert it to a percentage, you would multiply 0.75 by 100, resulting in 75%.

How can you multiply a decimal number by a whole number?

To multiply a decimal number by a whole number, you simply multiply the decimal number by the whole number as if they were both whole numbers. After performing the multiplication, count the total number of decimal places in the decimal number and include that many decimal places in the result. Make sure to align the numbers properly and carry over any remainders as needed during the calculation.

How can you divide a decimal number by a whole number?

To divide a decimal number by a whole number, you can first ignore the decimal point and divide the numbers as whole numbers. Once you have the quotient, you then place the decimal point in the quotient directly above where it was in the original number and add zeros to the right if needed. Then, perform the division as if you were dividing whole numbers, taking into account the decimal point.

How can you compare two decimal numbers to determine which is greater?

To compare two decimal numbers, you can start by examining the digit in the leftmost place of each number (the one with the highest value). If one number has a greater digit in this place, then that number is greater. If the digits are equal, you move on to the next place and repeat the comparison. Continue this process until you find a difference between the digits in the corresponding places, and the number with the higher digit at that place is considered greater.

How can you round a decimal number to a specific place value?

To round a decimal number to a specific place value, identify the digit in the desired place value. If the digit immediately to the right of that place value is 5 or greater, add 1 to the digit in the desired place value and replace the digits to the right with zeros. If the digit immediately to the right is less than 5, simply replace the digits to the right with zeros.

How can you subtract two decimal numbers with different place values?

To subtract two decimal numbers with different place values, align the decimal points of both numbers. Add zeros to the right of the number with fewer decimal places to make both numbers have the same number of decimal places. Then, subtract the numbers as you would with whole numbers, carrying over as needed. Finally, place the decimal point in the result directly below the decimal points in the original numbers.

How can you solve a word problem involving decimal numbers?

To solve a word problem involving decimal numbers, first identify the operation(s) needed to solve the problem (addition, subtraction, multiplication, division). Then convert any whole numbers or fractions into decimals if necessary. Perform the calculations using the appropriate operations for the problem, ensuring that you align the decimal points correctly. Finally, double-check your answer to ensure the decimal points are in the correct place and that your solution makes sense in the context of the word problem provided.
