When you divide any number by a smaller number, it gets bigger.
a decimal ( less than 1) is smallerthan a whole number
Say you have 1/0.1 that is the same as 1/ one tenth which is 1 x 10 = 10 ( invert the 1/10 and multiply)
Say you have 1/0.01 that is the same as 1/ one hundredth which is 1 x 100 = 100 ( invert the 1/100 and multiply)
It is a rational number because if need be it can be expressed as a fraction.
Well, honey, let me break it down for you. In the world of decimals, the more digits you have after the decimal point, the bigger the number. So, in this case, 7.07 is actually bigger than 7.0. It's all about those tiny little details that make a big difference.
Since it has a finite number of decimals, it is rational.
Percents are basically decimals, and we use decimals as numbers with extra, tiny proportions. Percents are just ways to make those decimals into a whole, more friendlier number. But, percents can also be made with decimals as well.
It is bigger
When you give a full solution in dividing a small number by a bigger number, you list all the decimals that are in the answer, or you list the solution in its simplest fraction form.
You multiplie the number you were dividing by with the answer.
you put that number as your remainder
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.
Accountants use decimals by simply dividing the fractions and getting a decimal number. One does not need to be an accountant to use decimals.
1.50 is bigger than 1.05.
Yes
Accountants typically convert fractions to decimals. They do this by dividing the fractions and getting a decimal number. Decimals are easier to work with in accounting.
simplify by dividing
in dividing decimals you never get a remainder and in dividing whole numbers you do. +++ More to the point perhaps, you are working in powers of 10 all the time.
