Are decimals used in probability?
Yes decimals are used in probability; also percent and odds.
Simplify this ratio 4.8 to 10?
12/25this is because you shouldn't have decimals on the numerator
How many 4 digit numbers can are there with distinct digits?
4,536 whole numbers or mixed numbers. 5,040 pure decimals.
How can you simplify a ratio?
Find a common number that you can divide both by, just like simplifying fractions. Say you have a ratio of 2:4. Both of those numbers are divisible by two, so if you divide both by two you get 1:2. Generally you want to have both numbers as whole numbers (i.e. no fractions or decimals) Find the GCF of the numbers and divide them both by it. If the GCF is 1, the ratio is in its simplest form. If the ratio is between two decimals, multiply them by whatever power of ten will eliminate the decimals. Then proceed with the GCF.
What is a safe estimate?
It is an estimate that is quite safe
How can you estimate sums or differences of decimals?
In the same way as you estimate them for whole numbers.
How do you find a low estimate for the product of two decimals round both factors to?
to find a low estimate for the product of two decimals, round both factors
How do you estimate sums with decimals?

Why is it good to estimate decimals?
Because some decimals are really long and hard to write down. Especially if they're not repeating ones. So people round them to be able to say them or write them.
How can you use an estimate to help you place the decimal point in multiplying decimals?
0.235 * 0.6891 = 0.1619385 What's to estimate? The total decimal places in the multiplicands is the total in the answer.
Why is estimating important when dividing with decimals?
Using an estimate ensures that the answer is about right. With decimals where the decimal point should go is difficult for a lot of people, so an estimate of the answer ensures that it is put in the right place.
When you are dividing two decimals how can you check whether you have divided the decimals correctly?
To check if you have divided two decimals correctly, you can multiply the quotient by the divisor. If the product equals the original dividend, then your division is accurate. Additionally, you can estimate the division by rounding the decimals to whole numbers, performing the division with the rounded values, and comparing the result to your original quotient for consistency.
How do you use benchmarks to estimate decimals?
by estimating the number after the decimal
How do you estimate sum or difference of decimals?
The same way as whole numbers. 0.3865 + 0.2274 could be estimated as 0.40 + 0.20 = 0.6
How do you find a low estimate for the product of two decimals round both factors to what?
round down till there is not a decimal. example: 4.4*5.6 round to 4*5= about 20 (lower estimate)
