What is greatest place value of decimal?

There is no limit.


How do simplify decimals on a calculator?

I am not sure what you mean by simplify. If you mean round, then it is usually done by using "fixed format" to limit the number of decimal places displayed. Different calculators have different procedures for doing this.


What does measuring tolerance mean?

Answer measuring tolerance.it is a limit above and or below a specific size. eg.2.000" +.001" -.001" so your total tolerance is .002".so you are allowed to go one thousandth of an inch above 2.000" and one thousandth of an inch below2.000".


Why is point nine repeating equal to one?

To answer that question we should first talk about why any non-termination decimal number is equal to whatever it is. And to talk about that, we should first talk about the value of ordinary terminating decimals. Consider a terminating decimal, say 0.314. This decimal represents the sum of the fractions 3/10 + 1/100 + 4/1000; and longer (but still terminating) decimals can be computed in a similar way. But how do we decide what value a non-terminating decimal represents, say 0.314159265458979... and so on with a never-ending sequence of digits? By analogy, it should be equal to 3/10 + 1/100 + 4/1000 + 1/10,000 + ... and so on; but how can we figure out what such a never-ending sum adds up to? Well, one way of looking at it is as follows: Whatever value the decimal has, we know that (say)0.314 is off by no more than 0.001, since 0.314159... - 0.314 = 0.000159..., and 0.000159... is clearly < 0.001. Likewise, 0.3141 is off by no more than 0.0001, and 0.31415 is off by no more than 0.00001, and so on. In other words, the sequence of (terminating) decimals, 0.3, 0.31, 0.314, 0.3141, 0.31415, etc. gives us a list of better and better approximations to the ultimate value of the non-terminating decimal; and in fact by taking enough decimal places, the error in the approximation can be made as small as you like. If you've studied calculus, you may recognize this sort of discussion--it means that the value of the non-terminating decimal acts like the limit of the sequence of terminating decimals. In fact, it just *is* the limit of the sequence. So mathematicians have chosen to define the value of a non-terminating decimal as the limit of the sequence of approximations. Now we can talk about the specific case of 0.9 repeating: It turns out that the limit of the sequence 0.9, 0.99, 0.999, ... is just equal to 1, exactly (which should not be too hard to convince yourself of) and therefore the value of the non-terminating decimal 0.9 repeating is, by definition, equal to 1.


Why the decimals are also used in scientific notation?

In scientific notation, the coefficient (number before the base 10) is written such that there is only one digit before the decimal point, and that digit can be 1 to 9. After that, the rest of the number is written after the decimal point, and there is no limit to the number of digits after the decimal point. The exponent on the 10 indicates how many places to move the decimal in order to change the number to standard form. Conversely, when going from standard form to scientific notation, the exponent indicates the number of places to move the decimal to change the number from standard form to scientific notation.Examples:1.48762 x 105 = 148762 in standard form7.593 x 10-3 = 0.007593 in standard form39732 = 3.9732 x 104 in scientific notation0.046 = 4.6 x 10-2 in scientific notation

What is the meaning of tolerance as applied to a dimension?

Tolerance is the allowable variation for any given size in order to achieve a proper function. Tolerance equals the difference between lower and upper limit dimensions. For example; for 0.500-0.506 inch the tolerance would be 0.006 inches.
