What are facts about decimals?

Answer 1

Decimals are a way to represent numbers that fall between whole numbers. They consist of a whole number part and a fractional part separated by a decimal point. Decimals can be added, subtracted, multiplied, and divided using the same rules as whole numbers. They are commonly used in everyday life for measurements, money, and other precise calculations.

Answer 2

Oh, dude, decimals are just fancy numbers that help us deal with fractions without all the drama. They're like the middle ground between whole numbers and fractions, making math a little less complicated. So, yeah, decimals are basically the cool kids at the math party.

Answer 3

One decimal place to the right of the decimal point is the "tenths" place, but one decimal place to the left of the decimal point is the "ones" place. The "tens" place is two places to the left.

Answer 4

1. Decimals are a way of representing numbers.
2. Decimal numbers use ten digits: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9.
3. In a decimal number, the place value for any digit is 10 times greater than the place value of the digit to its right.
4. A decimal number need not have any digits after the decimal point.
5. A decimal number need not even have a decimal point.
6. Rational numbers are represented by terminating or recurring decimals.
7. Irrational Numbers are represented by infinite decimals that are non-recurring.

I guess that's it.

I suppose I could have increased the "number" of facts by splitting #6 into "terminating decimals are rational" and "recurring decimals are rational" and so on, but that is not really an additional fact.
