as we are now in the 21st Century, the decades start as 2010, 2020, 2030, 2040, 2050, 2060, 2070, 2080, 2090 and the 22nd Century will start as 2100
The total days in a decade if the decade starts with a leap year would be 3653. 365 x 10, + 3.
A decade has 10 years in it.
There are 10 years in a decade. Therefore, one year is equal to 1/10 (one tenth) of a decade.
A tenth of a decade is equal to one year. Since a decade consists of ten years, dividing it by ten gives you one year. Therefore, a tenth of a decade represents the span of time equivalent to one calendar year.
One decade is 10 years so 0.1 decade is one year.ten year is said to be a decade.
A decade. :)
The new decade will start on January 1st, 2011!There was no year 0 (our calendar went from 1 BC to 1 AD with no 0 inbetween). So the first decade started with the year 1, the second decade with the year 11, the third decade with the year 21, and so on.This decade and century started on January 1, 2001 and ends December 31, 2010.
1 decade is 10 years, thus: 1 year =1/10 decade = 0.1 decade
A decade is made up of ten years. It takes ten years to make one decade. A year is one tenth of a decade.
According to the calendar, because there is no "0" year, the new decade just started January 1, 2011. Common use of the word decade, because we refer to the decade of the 80's or 90's, the new decade starts on January 1 of the decade that is being referred to. This is because it is illogical to say the decade of the 80's doesn't include 1980 but does include 1990. So, if you like the common use of the word decade, instead of the calendar use, the new decade will start on January 1, 2020.
10 years is in a decade
A decade consists of ten years.
1990 is a year. The 1990s was a decade.
A decade is equal to 10 years. Therefore, one year is one tenth of a decade.
The total days in a decade if the decade starts with a leap year would be 3653. 365 x 10, + 3.
In a technical sense, 2011 does start the new decade. It works this way because in the Julian Calendar, there is no year zero. In our calendar, it goes from year 1 B.C. to year 1 A.D. There is no year in between. Therefore, if you count by tens starting from year one, each new decade ends with the number one. For example, 1+10=11. Clearly if you repeat that over and over, you will end up with 2011 starting the new decade. Some people will say that decades start with a zero because, for example, the sixties were from 1960 to 1969. It is true that the sixties were from 1960 to 1969, but that doesn't agree with the fact that there was no year zero, so technically that is wrong. So when someone says "sixties" they are referring to the years 1960 through 1969. But when a decade really starts in the technical sense, the last number will always be one. 2000 was the first year. We ran thru all of 2000. That's year 1. 2001= year 2. 2002= year3 and so on. Therefore 2009 was the 10th year or the end of the decade.
A 90-year-old person is in their tenth decade of life.
