There are at least two ways to compare decimal numbers.
1. Remember that a decimal is the same as a fraction with a power of 10 as its denominator. The number of zeros is the same as the number of places in the decimal, so
The common denominator for both is 100, so converting 3/10 to hundredths gives 30/100, which is greater than 6/100. Going back to decimal form, 0.3 > 0.06
2. Remember that putting zeros to the right of the last digit in a decimal doesn't change its value, the same way zeros to the left of a whole number don't change it (0005 = 005 = 05 = 5).
Put extra zeros to the right of the shorter decimal until it has as many places as the longer decimal. Next, ignore the decimal point. The number that's larger corresponds to the larger decimal.
In this case 0.3 has one digit to the right of the decimal point and 0.06 has two. Put an extra zero to the right of 0.3 to get 0.30 so the numbers are now 0.30 and 0.06. If you ignore the decimal points the numbers are 30 and 6; 30 > 6. The decimals are in the same order: 0.3 > 0.06
Both methods are actually the same! The difference is that the second method doesn't explain as much (not good if you have to show your work!) but after you practice it a few times it's a LOT faster.
- A harder one -
Put the following decimals in order from smallest to largest: a = 0.47, b = 2.1, c = 0.0029
You can do this quickly with Method 2.
They are the same thing a non-terminating is a non-repeating decimal
There are no decimal places in 40. Whether it is a factor or not is not relevant,
It depends on whether they are never ending but recurrent or never ending but non-recurring. An example of the first is 2/11 = 0.1818.... where the 18s go on for ever. This is called a recurring decimal. An example of the second is the decimal representation of sqrt(2) = 1.41421356... which goes on forever, but which does not settle into a repeating pattern. These are called non-recurring decimals.
To convert a fraction to a decimal, divide the denominator into the numerator. Whether it is recurring or not depends on the fraction.
The decimal number for one half is 0.5 It does not matter whether it is oz or mile or tonne or metre.
Divide the larger number by the smaller. If the result has no remainder (no decimal) then the smaller number is a factor of the larger.
following are examples of typical economic decisions made by the managers of a firm. determine whether is an example of what, how, and when?
If the decimal is terminating or repeating then it can be written as a fraction. Decimal representations which are non-terminating and non-repeating cannot be expressed as a fraction.
The value is 30. The accuracy of measurement would determine whether this could be 30.0 or 30.00 or farther.
Their product is always correct, according to the immutable law of nature that says"It is what it is".To determine whether or not you have calculated the product correctly, perform thecalculation another time or two, and see whether you get the same result each time.
Prime numbers are prime numbers - whether we count in the decimal, binary, hexadecimal or another base.
The answers will depend on whether you are trying to determine these for a projectile or a ballistic object, whether it is travelling in a straight line (up-down) or a trajectory and what simplifying assumptions (for example, air resistance = 0) you make.The answers will depend on whether you are trying to determine these for a projectile or a ballistic object, whether it is travelling in a straight line (up-down) or a trajectory and what simplifying assumptions (for example, air resistance = 0) you make.The answers will depend on whether you are trying to determine these for a projectile or a ballistic object, whether it is travelling in a straight line (up-down) or a trajectory and what simplifying assumptions (for example, air resistance = 0) you make.The answers will depend on whether you are trying to determine these for a projectile or a ballistic object, whether it is travelling in a straight line (up-down) or a trajectory and what simplifying assumptions (for example, air resistance = 0) you make.
In the case of polygons (basically the simplest case), you need to determine that corresponding sides are proportional (for example, all sides in figure "B" are twice as large as the corresponding sides in figure "A"), and that corresponding angles are equal.
experiment
they determine this by determining if the goods bought were in fact necessary. for example food in considered necessary whereas alcohol is not.
If it precedes an integer it is irrelevant (except where the number is a telephone number), if it follows decimal part of a number it is irrelevant, if it precedes a decimal point of a decimal only number, then it is aesthetic other wise it is significant in the normal run of things.
The decimal shows a repeating pattern. Repeating decimals are rational.
