Underlining is used in questions asked about decimals, not in decimal notation.

A bar across the top of a decimal number means that the number (or numbers) are repeated infinitely as the decimal equivalent of a fraction, such as 1/3 (0.3333) or 1/7 (0.142857142857142857).

What does write the place and the value of the underlined digit mean?

"Write the place and the value of the underlined digit" is a math instruction that requires identifying the position of a specific digit within a number and determining its value based on that position. The "place" refers to the position of the digit within the number, such as ones, tens, hundreds, etc. The "value" is the numerical worth of that digit based on its place within the number. This task helps students understand the concept of place value and how digits contribute to the overall value of a number.


What is 1's complement of decimal 10?

The decimal complement of the number 1 is 8. You can find the complement of any digit by subtracting it from the largest single digit value in the base that you're working in.


Why can you just move the decimal point to find a solution when you multiply or divide by but not when you multiply or divide by a number that is not a power of 10?

This is because we use the decimal system which is based on the fact that the place value of any digit is ten times that of the digit to its right.


How do you find out the value of a decimal?

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.So, a number such as 12.345= 1*10 + 2*1 + 3*1/10 + 4*1/100 + 5*1/1000.
