Three halves is one and a half, or 1.5 when written as a decimal.
1.5
halve of 10.5.
Halves are when something is divided into two equal parts. Here are some sentences.Both halves of the room voted to pass the town law.He doesn't do things by halves!Two halves make a whole.
0.4887039Three decimal places is up to the second eight, but because the '7' after the second eight is higher than 5, you generally round up, so the second eight would become nine.This would give you your answer of:0.489
If you are looking at this from a maths perspective, the 'significant figures' are the number of digits counting from the first non-zero digit, so the number of significant figures in 10.0 is three. You may be asked a question, and told to give the answer 'to three significant figures'. This would mean the answer would look something like '12.2' or '0.0254'. This is in contrast to decimal places, which refer to the number of digits after the decimal point. For example, the number 10.0 is quoted to one decimal place.
1.5
To turn a mixed fraction into a decimal, you need to treat the fraction part as if it were a division. In this case we have 50 halves or 50/2. Dividing this gives 25. This is then added to the whole part (35) to give 60. So 35 and 50 halves as a decimal is 60.
You can calculate 3 / 40 on the calculator. This will give you the decimal equivalent.
halve of 10.5.
0.017 is a number which is given to 3 decimal places. The equivalent number, at four decimal places, is 0.0170 but any number in the interval (0.0165, 0.0175), when rounded to four decimal places would give 0.017 to three.
Football commentators are especially fond of saying that it was a game of two halves.
The sqrt of 200 is 14.14213562... But a 'reasonable' answer would be 14.1 This is because the question gives three digits of precision -- called significant figures -- so it is reasonable to give three digits in the answer. As another example, a reasonable decimal answer for the sqrt of 200.00 would be 14.142 (five figures in the question, five in the answer).

232.42 Rounding makes a number simpler, and a decimal shorter. This number has only two decimal places to begin with, and rounding can't give it three.
If you are asked to give an answer to three decimal places and you have an answer such as 0.987654 then you would take the first three numbers after the decimal so in this case it would be 987, however, you would need to round this up since you have a six after it. The general rule is that if the number following your cut off point is greater than 5 you round up one number and if it is less than 5 you leave it the same. Therefore, your answer would be 0.988
There are two halves in a whole.
