How can you use place value to write a terminating decimal as a fraction with a power of ten in the deminator?

Finding a place value in a terminating decimal is easy. When placing the decimal always remember to place it at the tenth.


What jobs use terminating decimals?

All jobs will use terminating decimals but most jobs will also require you to be able to work with recurring decimals and many will need decimal numbers which are neither terminating nor recurring.


If a non-terminating decimal that is not a fraction is called irrational what do you call a non-terminating decimal that is a ratio of rational numbers such as 1 over 7?

It is called a rational number. The rational numbers are closed under the operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division (not dividing by 0). The fact that it is not terminating is not important at all. In fact, if we use other bases besides base 10, we will see that the set of numbers that are rational or irrational doesn't change. However, if we use another base, for example base 3, then the number 1/3 in base 3 can be represented with a terminating "decimal" (technically not decimal). The set of rational numbers that have terminating "decimals" depends on the base.


What dose terminating mean in maths?

The given number has a specified number of digits. A non-terminating number, is one were the digits go to inifinity. e.g. Terminating ; 3.333 Non-terminating(recurs to infinity) ; 3.333.... ( Note the use of three or more stops to indicate recurrance).


Is 2.222222 a rational number?

YES!!!! Be it a terminating decimal or a decimal recurring to inifinity. Terminating decimal 2.222222 = 2 2/1000000 = 2 1/500000 As a recurring decimal 2.222.... ( Note the use of stops). Let P = 2.222.... Then 10P - 22.222... Subtract 9P = 20 ( Note the recurring decimals subtract to zero). P = 20/9 P = 2 2/9 NB When writing recurring decimal to infinity, the number is written as 2.222... ( with at least three stops/periods). Otherwise it is deemed to be a terminating decimal.


When would you use place value in real life?

You use place value for all decimal numbers that contain fractional parts. You also use place value for all decimal integers other than those containing only one-digit.


When you use decimal which type of data is it?

What is pi not rounded?

pi is the quotient obtained by the dividing the circumference of a circle by its diameter. It is not a rational number and so cannot be expressed as a fraction or a terminating decimal. You can not give the exact value of pi as a decimal no matter how many places you use.

How do you use decimal numbers in real life?

One situation is when shopping for grocery items ... things will be priced using the decimal system: Tomato's, $1.59 per pound. Knowing that 1.59 is less than 1.75 could be beneficial.
