The number of digits on both sides of the decimal point is up to you!

For instance, Pi is accepted as being 3.14 (two places) for general use. But, 3.14159265359 is to 11 places, and it can stretch on into infinity!

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.
