Because the number of digits after the decimal place in a product does not require that.
Where do you find decimal numbers in real life?
A decimal number is simply 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. Since we normally count in tens, almost all the numbers that we come across are decimal numbers.
When working with fractions and mixed numbers what 2 operations require that you find common denominators before beginning to work?
those two operations are addition and subtraction.
These are both positive and negative but have no decimal or fractional portion?
There are no such numbers since all integers are also decimal numbers. A decimal number is simply 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 or any digits after a decimal point.
What is the decimal of 400?

When float exist?
Floats exist in programming languages to represent decimal numbers. They are used to store values with decimal points and are typically defined as floating-point numbers. Floats are useful for calculations that require high precision and accuracy in handling fractional numbers.
What is the advantage of decimal number system to binary number system?
The decimal representation of numbers is shorter. Binary number require approx 3.3 times as many digits.
Which are the games where decimal numbers are used?
Any game that uses two cubic dice, for example. Decimal numbers are simply 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 or fractional parts. This is not true for a single die since the numbers could be octal.
What changes have occurred in the decimal system since 1966?
The decimal system was and still is based on representing numbers in such a way that the place value of each digit is ten times that of the digit to its right. If it does not contain a fractional part then the decimal representation does not require a decimal point.
Must the product of 2 decimals be a decimal?
No. A decimal is a representation of a number such that the place value of any digit is ten times the place value of the digit to its right. It does not require a decimal point. So the decimal numbers, 3 and 4, can be multiplied together to give 1100 in binary.
How do I write 62 miles in decimal numbers?
A decimal number is simply a way of representing a number in such a way that the place value of a one is ten times that of a one in the place to its right.
