What is a decimal?

A decimal is a base-10 numeral system that uses a combination of whole numbers and fractional parts represented by a decimal point. It is commonly used to express numbers and quantities with precision, where each place value to the right of the decimal point represents a value ten times smaller than the place value to the left.

What is standard form for decimals?

The standard form for decimals is known as standard decimal notation, where numbers are written with digits to the left and right of the decimal point, with each place value represented by a power of ten. For example, the decimal 3.25 in standard form would be written as 3.25.

How do you identify the place value of a digit in decimal standard form?

To identify the place value of a digit in decimal standard form, you look at the position of the digit in relation to the decimal point. Starting from the right of the decimal point, each digit's place value increases by a power of 10. The digit immediately to the right of the decimal point is in the tenths place, then hundredths, thousandths, and so on as you move to the right. On the left side of the decimal point, the place values increase by powers of 10 (ones, tens, hundreds, etc.).

How do you convert a decimal to standard form?

To convert a decimal number to standard form, you need to express the number in the form of a x 10^b, where "a" is a number greater than or equal to 1 and less than 10, and "b" is an integer representing the power of 10. For example, if you have the decimal number 0.0056, you would move the decimal point to the right until the number is greater than or equal to 1, which would give you 5.6 x 10^-3 in standard form.

How do you convert a fraction to decimal standard form?

To convert a fraction to decimal standard form, you simply divide the numerator (top number) by the denominator (bottom number). This division will give you the decimal representation of the fraction. If the division results in a repeating decimal, you can either round to a certain number of decimal places or use a bar over the repeating digit.

How do you convert a percent to decimal standard form?

To convert a percent to decimal standard form, you simply divide the percent value by 100. This means moving the decimal point two places to the left and removing the percentage symbol. For example, 50% as a decimal would be 0.50 and 75% would be 0.75 in decimal form.

How do you round a decimal to a specific place value in standard form?

To round a decimal to a specific place value in standard form, identify the digit in the place value you are rounding to and look at the digit immediately to its right. If that digit is 5 or greater, increase the digit in the place value you are rounding to by 1. If the digit is less than 5, leave the digit in the place value you are rounding to as it is. Finally, replace all digits to the right of the desired place value with zeros to maintain the standard form.

How do you compare two decimals in standard form?

To compare two decimals in standard form, you should start by comparing the numbers before the decimal point. The larger number is greater. If the numbers before the decimal point are equal, then move to the numbers after the decimal point. Compare the digits one by one from left to right. The first pair of digits that is different will determine which decimal is larger. If one decimal has more digits than the other, the one with more digits is greater if the extra digits are zeros.

How do you add or subtract decimals in standard form?

To add or subtract decimals in standard form, align the decimal points of the numbers being added or subtracted. Then, perform the addition or subtraction as if you were working with whole numbers. Make sure to carry or borrow accordingly as needed when performing the arithmetic. Finally, place the decimal point in the result in line with the aligned decimal points of the original numbers.

How do you multiply or divide decimals in standard form?

To multiply decimals in standard form, first ignore the decimal point and treat the numbers as if they were whole numbers. Multiply them together, then count the total number of decimal places in the original numbers. Place the decimal point in the product so that the total number of decimal places is equal to the sum of the decimal places in the original numbers. To divide decimals in standard form, move the decimal point in the divisor (the number you're dividing by) to make it a whole number. Then move the decimal point in the dividend (the number being divided) the same number of places. Divide as if they were whole numbers, and place the decimal point in the quotient.
