Why is the size of a decimal number not necessarily determined by the number of decimal places notated?
What else can I help you with?
Why isn't the size of a decimal necessarily determined by the number of decimal places notated?
Because successive decimal places diminish in value. 0.1 will always be greater than 0.09
One sixth is equal to what decimal?
0.1666...1/6 expressed as a decimal is 0.16666. This can also be notated by 0.16, with a dot above the six to represent a recurring number.
When you multiply a decimal by a whole number is the number of decimal places in the product the same as the number of decimal places in the decimal factor?
This is not necessarily true. 2 x 0.55 = 1.1
What is 5 over 81 as a decimal?
The fraction 5 over 81 as a decimal is 0.061. This can be determined by dividing the top number by the bottom number or 5 divided by 81 to convert it into decimal format.
Can all rational numbers be written as decimal numbers?
Yes; by the definition of an irrational number (a number with an infinite amount of changing decimal digits as the number grows minutely larger), the converse is true about rational numbers a rational number like (1/3) [0.33333333...] can be notated with a bar over any of the digits to notate a repeating decimal digit.

What is a number that contains a decimal point?
It is a number with a decimal point. It is not necessarily a decimal number because 24 (no decimal pont) is a decimal number.It is a number with a decimal point.

Is a negative decimal an irrational number?
Not necessarily.

When multiplying a decimal by a whole number is the number of decimal places in the product the same as the number of decimal places in the decimal factor?
Not necessarily: for example, consider 0.5 * 4 = 2

This is not necessarily true. 2 x 0.55 = 1.1
Is a negative number greater than a decimal?
Not necessarily, if the decimal is also negative. eg -4 is not greater than -3.5

What is the number of decimal places in the factor 40?
The number of decimal places in a factor is determined by counting the digits to the right of the decimal point. In the case of the factor 40, there are no decimal places, as there is no decimal point present. Therefore, the number of decimal places in the factor 40 is 0.
Can all rational numbers be written as decimal numbers?
Yes; by the definition of an irrational number (a number with an infinite amount of changing decimal digits as the number grows minutely larger), the converse is true about rational numbers a rational number like (1/3) [0.33333333...] can be notated with a bar over any of the digits to notate a repeating decimal digit.
Is a whole number more than a decimal number?
Not necessarily.0.5 < 1 < 1.5 So, the whole number 1 is more than the decimal fraction 0.5 but less than the decimal fraction 1.5 but the decimal fraction 0.5 is less than the whole number 1 while the decimal fraction 1.5 is more than the whole number 1.
When converting a decimal to a fraction what determines the denominator of the fraction?
The denominator of the fraction is determined by the number of decimal places in the decimal number. If there is one decimal place, the denominator will be 10. If there are two decimal places, the denominator will be 100, and so on.
