What is the difference between 6500. and 6500? The first one would be considered to have a terminal decimal. This means that instead of simply writing the number as it is, a decimal is added to the end to represent significant figures (terminal decimals are most commonly used in scientific notation). Therefore, when 6500 would only be considered as to having 2 significant figures, 6500. has 4 significant figures.

What is a terminal decimal in math?
A terminal decimal - is one with a finite solution. For example, 1/8 as a decimal is 0.125 The value of Pi as a decimal could never be a terminal decimal, as the solution goes on indefinitely.
Why is 0.57575757 irrational?
NO!!!! It is NOT irrational. Reason, it can be converted to a Ratio(fraction). How do I know??? You have not indicated that the decimals go to inifinity. There is a regular order in the digits. As given it is a terminal decimal 0.57575757 If it was an infinite decimal it should read 0.57575757... ( Note the dots that indicate it contiunes to infinity. As a terminal decimal its fraction is 57575757/100000000 Ugh!!!! As an infinite decimal it can be converted to a ratio(fraction) Hence Let P = 0.57575757... & 100P = 57.57575757.... Subtract 99P = 57 ( Notice the repeating decimals subtract to zero. P = 57/99 Cancel down by '3' P = 19/33 THe answer 0.575757... = 19/33 & 0.57575757 = 57575757/100000000

Is 6.2222 a rational number?
Yes!!! Because it can be converted to a fraction. However, is '6.2222' a terminal decimal or do you mean that it repeats to infinity. If it repeast to infinity it shoulkd be written as '6.2222....' Note the three or more dots after the last decimal digits. This indiv=cates to mathematicians that the deimal 'repeats to infinity'. In both cases they are RATIONAL numbers, because they can be both converted to a quotient/fraction.

Not at all. The quotient of 1/3 doesn't end.
How to turn a fraction to a decimal?
, divide the numerator by the denominator. To change terminal decimals into fractions, count the number of decimal places, put the decimal's digits over 1 followed by the proper number of zeroes.
What is the terminal decimal for 78?
A decimal number is simply a way of representing a number in such a way that the place value of each digit is ten times that of the digit to its right. A decimal representation does not require a decimal point. So the required decimal representation is 78, exactly as in the question.

Is decimal .0001 less than .00010?
NO!!! They are equal 0.0001 = 0.00010 NB the terminal zero is trivial .
Is 1.33333 an irrational number?
thereNO!!! Because you can convert it to a quotient(fraction). However, 1.33333 is a terminal decimal . To indicate it is a decimal to infinity , it is written as 1.33333... Note the use of the 'three or more dots'. 1.33333 Terminal decimal to a fraction is 1 33333/100000 Horrible I know Ugh!!!!! 1.33333... as a decimal to inifinity to a fraction ;- Let P - 1.33333.... Then 10P = 13.33333.... Subtract 9P = 12 ( Note the deciamsl subtract to 'zero' ) P = 12/9 P = 1 3/9 P = 1 1/3 The answer!!!! 0
