Where is the decimal point in a whole number?

If you must have it, it is after the right-most digit.


How Do you round 1.978 to one decimal place?

2.0The first digit after the decimal point is "9". We now look at the second digit after the decimal point. As this is "7", which is greater than or equal to "5", we must round the "9" up (we make the number larger).This makes the "9" become a "0" and to make this number larger we must also therefore make the "1" into a "2". This is because the "9" has actually become a "10" and so we have to add "1" to the digit to the left (1 + 1 = 2).


How is 17 thousandths has more than two places to the right of the decimal point?

The first place after the decimal point is tenths. The second place after the decimal point is hundredths The third place after the decimal point is thousandths. So the number must extend to the third place after the decimal.


How do you do a stem and leaf plot with fractions and whole numbers mixed together?

You round the fractions to decimal numbers to a suitable number of decimal digits. Then create a stem and leaf plot using these numbers - ignoring the decimal point, except that you must make sure you mention it in the key.


When dividing decimals what must you do if there is a decimal in the divisor?

When dividing decimals, if there is a decimal in the divisor, you should move the decimal point in the divisor to the right until it becomes a whole number. You must then move the decimal point in the dividend the same number of places to the right. Once both numbers are adjusted, you can proceed with the division as usual.

How do you estimate a decimal?

1. You must first go to the place in front of the decimal and round that number 2. Do the same for the next number 3. Lastly do the operation to find your answer

When writing a number in scientific notation how many digits should be left on the decimal point?

Only on digit may be to the left of the decimal point. The mantissa must be a number in the interval [0, 10).


How do you know where to place the decimal point in long division with decimals?

In long division with decimals, you place the decimal point in the quotient directly above the decimal point in the dividend (the number being divided). If the divisor has a decimal, you can move the decimal point to the right until it becomes a whole number, and you must do the same with the dividend. After aligning the decimal points, proceed with the division as you would with whole numbers.


What do you do if there is an whole number in an adding and subtractingdecimal problem?

You can add or subtract it as a whole number. If you must use its decimal form, you just stick a decimal point at the end the whole number!


What is the answer if you round this 32.5219?

You round up if a number is 5 or more. You start at the right. So9 is more than 5, round up. The 1 becomes 2. Two is less than 5; the 2 remains the same. Therefore, start with the next number, the 2. Again, it is less than 5. If you are supposed to round but keep the decimal point, it would be 32.5. If you must round to a full number, it is 32.


Which way do you go when you divide decimals the left or right?

When dividing decimals, you move the decimal point to the right in the divisor (the number you are dividing by) to make it a whole number. You must then move the decimal point in the dividend (the number being divided) the same number of places to the right. This ensures that the division remains equivalent. The result will have its decimal point placed according to the new position of the decimal in the dividend.


When writing a decimal number less than 1 you must apply the?

decimal point to the left of the whole number. Example: 1= whole number. Less than 1 as a decimal is .00, .01, 02 etc.
