How are comparing and ordering whole numbers and decimals similar?

They are similar because when you compare decimals you say the larger one has more value so the decimal is larger like in comparing whole numbers the number that has more value is larger. So they are very similar.


What are positive and negative whole numbers and zero?

Whole numbers are numbers from 0 to infinity. They must be numbers that are not fractions or decimals, and must be positive. Integers can be any numbers that are whole, negative or positive. Zero is not a positive number. Neither is it negative. Rational numbers are an fraction. Eg: 6/10 or 6/6 They can also be whole numbers because 6/6 is also 1. Counting numbers are also numbers 1-infinity, but once again, it is all whole numbers, meaning that they are not decimals or some thing like: .1 or 1/2


How is multiplying rational numbers like multiplying fractions and multiplying decimals?

Fractions and decimals are usually rational numbers. Besides, multiplying rational and irrational numbers is also similar.


Is 202002000200002000002000000... a rational number?

Ok, if the number ends there at the zeros right before the ellipses, then yes that would be a rational number. The whole point of a rational number is that it ends. All whole numbers are rational numbers. It's when you get into the decimals that you have irrational numbers. 1/3 for instance is not a rational number. In decimals it is something like 0.3333333...etc. and never ends. The number listed up there has no decimal, meaning it has to end somewhere.


Why is 0.3 equivalent to 0.300?

When you are using decimals any extra zeros at the end wont matter. Just like when you put zeros in front of whole numbers. ex. 5 = 05

How do you plus decimals?

Treat them exactly like you would adding up whole numbers but align all the columns so that the decimals points are all in line/column and carry this point (and its position) down into the answer. 077.2 033.05 110.91 -------- 221.16


How is dividing decimals and dividing whole numbers the same?

If you are making use of long division method, the process of dividing a whole number is actually a subset of the process of dividing the decimals. While dividing both you may get a quotient with decimal places. Some exceptions to this do exist in case of whole numbers. Like when you are dividing 100 by 2, the quotient 50 has no decimal places.


How do you do mean median and mode with decimals?

Mean- add all the numbers together and divide by how many there are just like you do with whole numbers. Median- put the decimals in order from smallest to largest then find the middle number just like you do with whole numbers. Mode- find which decimal is repeated the most like you do with whole numbers. So you pretty much do the same thing for all of these that you do with whole numbers Hope this helped =)


How do subtract fractions?

all you have to do is follow the same algorithm for adding a pair of fractions together. the main step is to find common denominators between the two. to do this, you need to find the least common multiple. another way you could find a common denominator is just by changing them into decimals, and adding them normally like whole numbers with the decimals lined up correctly.


How are comparing and ordering whole numbers and decimals similar?

They are similar because when you compare decimals you say the larger one has more value so the decimal is larger like in comparing whole numbers the number that has more value is larger. So they are very similar.


What does 1.1equal in whole numbers?

A number with decimals (digits after the decimal point) is not equal to ANY whole number. You can round it to the nearest whole number, if you like - that's the closest you can get.


Are fractions and decimals numbers that represent parts of a whole?

yes they do and fractions also represent divide like if you had 1/2 you would have half of a whole!
