The number of digits on both sides of the decimal point is up to you!
For instance, Pi is accepted as being 3.14 (two places) for general use. But, 3.14159265359 is to 11 places, and it can stretch on into infinity!

How many digits does it take to represent the decimal number 81 in binary?
It takes 7 digits.
How many decimal places are there in the number 6.874?
Three. This refers to the number of significant digits AFTER the decimal point.
When multiplying two factors each one with a decimal place how many decimal places should the answer have?
You need to add up the number of digits to the right of the decimal to find the number of digits in the answer. If the first factor has 2 digits to the right of the decimal point and the second factor has 3, the final answer will have 5 digits to the right of the decimal point.
How many digits appear after reading the decimal?
As many as there were before the number was read!
Why is the size of a decimal number not necessarily determined by the number of decimal places notated?
Digits after (to the right of) the decimal point contribute to the accuracy of the number, not its magnitude (or size). So only the digits to the left of the decimal point contribute to the magnitude. Digits after (to the right of) the decimal point contribute to the accuracy of the number, not its magnitude (or size).

How many digits are there in decimal?
A decimal is a way of representing a number in such a way that the place value of each digit is ten times that of the digit to its right. A decimal representation does not require a decimal point. It can have any number of digits: from one to infinitely many.

Is a decimal number with two digits is sometimes equal to a decimal number with three digits?
Only if the final digit, after the decimal point, is zero.
What is a decimal which has a final number of digits?
It is a terminating decimal.
How many significant figures are ther in 1.10030?
The number of significant figures in a number is equal to the number of digits to the left of the decimal point up to the first leading zero. It is then added to the number of total digits to the right of the decimal point. In this case, there are six significant digits.
Are repeating decimals an irrational number?
A repeating decimal is a rational number. Its value is(the repeating set of digits)/(as many 9s as there are digits above).
What is a decimal number which ends after a finite number of digits after the decimal point is called?
It is a terminating decimal.
