No. 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. It can be greater than, equal to or less than 1.
It is 0.71 when rounded to two decimal places because the digit 4 is less than 5
Look at the first digit after the decimal point. Are they equal?
Standard algorithm is when you take two digits or decimals and you put the digit or decimal with the greater value on top and the digit or decimal with the least value on the bottom and you contrast the digits/decimals to see if it greater than, less than,or equal to.
2.857Because the digit after the first 7 is less than 5, we round down.
Not necessarily.
It is 0.88887
.77775
It is 8.999... (repeating, except for 1 digit somewhere in the repeating string which is not a 9).
.9
Compare the first digit after the decimal point. Which is less?
How about: 0.001 or 0.01
-0.999
By simply ordering the digits the largest is .5420
It is 23
4.832 rounded to two decimal places is 4.83 because the digit of 2 is less than the digit of 5
If the last digit in 7.37 is less than 5, then remove the last digit. One Decimal Place Rule #2: If the last digit in 7.37 is 5 or more and the second to the last digit in 7.37 is less than 9, then remove the last digit and add 1 to the second to the last digit.
