What is a decimal number?

A decimal number is a number that is expressed in the base-10 numeral system, using digits 0 to 9 for each position in the number. The value of each digit is determined by its position relative to a decimal point, which separates the whole number part from the fractional part. Decimal numbers are commonly used in everyday math and represent quantities in a way that is easy for humans to understand.

How do you read a decimal number?

To read a decimal number, say the whole number part first, followed by the word "point" or "and," then say each digit after the decimal point individually. For example, the decimal number 3.14 is read as "three point one four.

How do you write a decimal number in expanded form?

To write a decimal number in expanded form, you break down the number into the sum of its place values. For example, the decimal number 3.45 would be written in expanded form as 3 + 4/10 + 5/100. Each digit in the decimal number represents a specific place value, with the first digit after the decimal point representing tenths, the second digit representing hundredths, and so on.

How do you compare decimal numbers using greater than, less than, or equal to signs?

When comparing decimal numbers using greater than, less than, or equal to signs, you consider the value of each digit starting from the leftmost digit. If the leftmost digits are different, the number with the greater leftmost digit is greater. If the leftmost digits are the same, move on to the next digit to the right until a difference is found. The number with the first greater digit at that point is considered larger. If all digits match, the numbers are considered equal.

How do you round a decimal number to a given place value?

To round a decimal number to a given place value, you look at the digit to the right of the desired place value. If that digit is 5 or greater, you round up the number. If it's less than 5, you leave the number as is. Then, you replace all digits to the right of the desired place value with zeros.

How do you add decimal numbers?

To add decimal numbers, align the decimal points and then add the numbers column by column starting from the rightmost column (the ones column). Carry over any extra value to the next column if the sum is greater than 9 in that column. Continue this process until all columns have been added, keeping the decimal point in the same position in the final answer as it was in the original numbers.

How do you subtract decimal numbers?

To subtract decimal numbers, line up the decimal points and then perform subtraction as you would with whole numbers. If necessary, add zeros to the right of the decimal point to make both numbers have the same number of decimal places before subtracting. Proceed with subtracting each column of digits from right to left, carrying over as needed. Finally, place the decimal point in the answer directly below the decimal points of the numbers being subtracted and simplify if necessary.

How do you multiply decimal numbers?

To multiply decimal numbers, first, multiply the numbers as if they were whole numbers. Then, count the total number of decimal places in the numbers you are multiplying. Add this total number of decimal places to your product. Finally, place the decimal point in the product to match the total number of decimal places you calculated.

How do you divide decimal numbers?

To divide decimal numbers, you can follow the same steps as dividing whole numbers. First, place the decimal point in the quotient directly above the decimal point in the dividend. Next, perform long division as usual, accounting for the decimal point in both numbers. If needed, you can add zeros to the right of the decimal point to continue dividing. Finally, bring down additional decimal places from the dividend until you have the desired level of precision in your quotient.

How do you solve word problems involving decimal numbers?

To solve word problems involving decimal numbers, first read the problem carefully to understand what is being asked. Then, identify the key information and decide what operation (addition, subtraction, multiplication, division) is needed to solve the problem. Make any necessary conversions, such as changing percentages to decimals. Lastly, perform the operation to find the solution and remember to include the appropriate units if needed. Double-check your work to ensure accuracy before finalizing your answer.
