How do you convert decimals into decimals?

Answer 1

Writing A Fraction As A Decimal-- Divide the numerator by the denominator. Example-two fifths. Divide 5 into 2. You will notice that you cant divide it, so you add a decimal and a zero to the number inside. If you do it right, You should've gotten 0.4 as your decimal

you are suppose to divide the denominator by the numerator

Answer 2

Make sure you line up the numbers only. Before multiplying, you need to move your decimals over the same amount of spaces to make them both whole numbers. Then you can multiply. You need to make sure the decimal goes back in the right area. If you moved it over 1 time with both the numbers, you need to count 2 times back from where the decimal is now placed.
To multiply Decimals YOU DO NOT have to line up the decimals like you have to do when adding or subtracting decimals.

If doing the traditional way multiply as you normally would at this point you can just ignore the decimals.

Example 78.93

* 10.9

---------

860337

Then you count starting at the RIGHT how many spaces to the decimal point

Example 103.56 has 2 spaces to the decimal point.

You then add together how many spaces total. For the example problem there are 3.

You then start a the RIGHT of the answer and count the total spaces. So the answer is 860.337.

To check your problem you can round up/down to WHOLEnumbers and find that answer and see if they are fairly close to each other.

Answer 3

You multiply decimals like you would a normal equation, just ignore the decimal point.

So say the question is 8.25 times 3.73 you would take the decimal points out, so it would be 825 times 373, and then figure out the answer by multiplying the two numbers together. The answer in this case is 307725. Then you place the decimal point back in by counting the numbers after the decimal point. So in this case there are 4 numbers after the decimal point. then just place then decimal point 4 numbers in so your answer would be 30.7725.

Or you could just use a calculator.

Answer 4

Decimals are all ready decimals so how could you say to convert it back to decimal

Answer 5

decimals and decimals are exactly the same

Answer 6

arrange and multiply the number like whole numbers. count the number of decimal places. start from the rightmost, put the decimal point based on the total number of decimal places

Answer 7

The previous answer was incorrect and is being hidden by a fellow WikiAnswers member.

Answer 8

The answer will depend on what you wish to convert the decimals into!

Answer 9

just use claculater
