1 inch is equivalent to 0.0254 meters in decimals.
Decimals are there to show you a fraction. For example, 1 1/2 is the same as the decimal 1.5. It just shows you how close you are to a whole number in a different way than a fraction.
1/10 = 0.1
1/2=0.5 1/4=0.25 3/4=0.75 1/10=0.1
Decimals and fractions are alike because all decimals are fractions and all fractions are decimals. As an example: 1/2, which is one-half, is the same as 0.5. The same is true for 2/4. 3/6, 4/8, and so on. Essentially all decimal are the quotient of two numbers divided by one another, which is a fraction.
A simple trick with multiplying decimal numbers is to remove the decimals, multiply the two numbers, then add the decimals back in. The number of decimals you add back in is the total number of decimal places. For example, the stated problem has 1 decimal places in 2.1 and 2 decimal places in 5.01. So first we do the following: 21x501=10521 Now we add 1+2=3 decimal places into the result above: 10.521 That's the answer.
No, Archimedes is not credited with the discovery of decimals. In fact, Jamish Al-Kashi is credited with the discovery of decimals.
The 3 kinds of decimals are "terminating" "recurring" and "other" Terminating decimals are ones that end, such as 0.74 or 0.19857 Recurring decimals are ones that don't end, but repeat, such as 0.6666666... or 0.142857142857142857.... Other decimals don't end, and don't repeat, but go on forever, such as pi=3.14159265358979323.....
Make them into decimals. Make them into decimals.
Adding and subtracting decimals is easy. When you put the numbers one above the other, line up the decimals vertically and treat as you would any whole number just keep the decimals in line and bring it straight down to your answer.
Think of it this way. A dollar is 100%, it is also 1. It is also 1/1. A quarter is 25%, .25 and 25/100 or 1/4 I hope this helps some.
Possibly, as decimals can't be decimals without decimal points.
