Most people use 1/12 and multiply that by the number of months to get their decimal age. HOWEVER this is not exact because you are often a fraction of a month old, AND not all months are the same length.
To figure out your age to an exact decimal, first add up the days until your next b-day (example: if today is April 27th and my b-day is July 10th, I would add 3 days + 31 days + 30 days + 10 days). Now, divide that number by 365. Write down the decimal you get. Now, do 1 - (the decimal you wrote down). You will get another decimal. Just add your age in years, and you have your decimal age!
*This is fun because afterwards you get to brag, "I'm 17.7392649092739... years old!*
Note: Use a calculator to make it easier! You can use memory on your calculator for the part where you subtract the decimal from 1.

The rule when rounding off numbers is "If the first figure to be discarded is 5 or more then the previous figure is increased by 1". As the first figure to be discarded is '6' and this is more than 5 then the previous figure '1' is increased by 1. To one decimal place 5.164 is 5.2
It's generally accepted that when rounding off numbers that if the first figure to be discarded is 5 or more, the previous figure is increased by 1. 176.625 therefore becomes 176.63 to 2 decimal places.

You know a decimal is repeating when you keep getting the same remainder and you keep adding the same decimal onto the end. On calculators it may be expressed as, as an example, 0.6666667. When writing a reoccurring (repeating) decimal it is usually expressed as one decimal with a line over the top of it.
A fraction can be turned into a decimal figure. Divide the bottom into the top to get your decimal figure. Then work in decimals.

51/100Method: To convert a decimal figure to a fraction, use the numbers after the decimal point for the top figure. And for the bottom figure (the divisor) put 1 for the decimal point, and a zero for every number after it. So 0.921 = 921/1000

To convert 3 58 to a decimal figure, we divide 58 by 100 (since there are 100 cents in a dollar) to get 0.58. We then add this to the whole number 3, resulting in the decimal figure 3.58.
It depends to what degree of accuracy: 10.25 (2 Decimal Places) 10.3 (1 Decimal Place) 10 (0 Decimal Places) 10 (1 Significant Figure) I included 1 Significant Figure for your future reference. If the number was 11.245 then to 1 Significant figure would be 10 because 0 does not count as a figure and therefore the 1 in 11 would be the only FIGURE.
If 2340 is a whole number then just add a decimal point and a zero -- 2340.0
if it is a decimal, move the decimal point 2 places right and a a percent sign....if its a fraction make a decimal then do the steps above ;)
Divide the minutes by 60 and that will be your decimal.
The uncertain figure of 2.423 would be the thousandths place, as it is the last digit given after the decimal point and represents the smallest decimal place indicated.
