How many digits does it take to represent the decimal number 81 in binary?
It takes 7 digits.
How many decimal places are there in the number 6.874?
Three. This refers to the number of significant digits AFTER the decimal point.
How many digits appear after reading the decimal?
As many as there were before the number was read!
When multiplying two factors each one with a decimal place how many decimal places should the answer have?
You need to add up the number of digits to the right of the decimal to find the number of digits in the answer. If the first factor has 2 digits to the right of the decimal point and the second factor has 3, the final answer will have 5 digits to the right of the decimal point.
Why is the size of a decimal number not necessarily determined by the number of decimal places notated?
Digits after (to the right of) the decimal point contribute to the accuracy of the number, not its magnitude (or size). So only the digits to the left of the decimal point contribute to the magnitude.
