    - Decimals represent numbers that are a fraction of 10, with a decimal point separating the whole numbers from the fractional part. - Decimal numbers are commonly used for money, measurements, temperatures, and other quantities that require fractional amounts. - Operations like addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division can be performed with decimals by lining up the decimal points and treating the numbers as whole numbers. - Decimals can be converted to fractions by dividing the decimal amount by 1 and multiplying the resulting fraction by powers of 10 based on the number of decimal places.

    What is Decimals?

    The word "Decimal" really means "based on 10" (From Latin decima: a tenth part). We sometimes say "decimal" when we mean anything to do with our numbering system, but a "Decimal Number" usually means there is a Decimal Point.

    Example:

    "three hundred twenty seven and four tenths"

    And that is a Decimal Number!

    Application of Decimals
    If we are using money, it would look like this:
    RM100 + RM30 + RM7 + RM0.80 + RM0.02 = RM137.82

    If we are not using money, it would look like this:


    100 + 30 + 7 + .8 + .02 = 137.82

    When else do we use decimals?


    Weight = 3.5 kg Height = 1.61 m Temperature = 43.7C Measuring distances = 149.8 km

    Can you think of any other?

    Ordering Decimals
    Order the following decimals: 0.402, 0.42, 0.375, 1.2, 0.850
    Units Decimal point Tenths Hundredths Thousandths

    0 0 0 1 0

    . . . . .

    4 4 3 2 8

    0 2 7 0 5

    2 0 5 0 0

    Adding Decimals
    Example: Add 1.452 to 1.3
    Line the decimals up: "Pad" with zeros: Add: 1.452 + 1.3 1.452 + 1.300 1.452 + 1.300 2.752

    That's all there is to it - just remember to line up the decimals, then add normally!

    Subtracting Decimals
    Example: Subtract 0.03 from 1.1
    Line the decimals up: "Pad" with zeros: 1.1 - 0.03 1.10 - 0.03

    Subtract:

    1.10 - 0.03 1.07

    Subtracting decimals is easy if you keep your work neat!

    Multiplying Decimals
    Example: Multiply 0.03 by 1.1
    start with:
    multiply without decimal points:

    0.03 1.1
    3 11= 33

    0.03 has 2 decimal places, and 1.1 has 1 decimal place, so the answer has 3 decimal places:

    0.033

    Multiply without the decimal point, then re-insert it in the correct spot!

    Dividing Decimals
    Example: Divide 9.1 by 7
    Ignore the decimal point and use Long Division: 13 7 )91 7 21 21 0 Put the decimal point in the answer directly above the decimal point in the dividend: 1.3 7 )9.1
    The answer is 1.3

    But what if you want to divide by a Decimal Number?

    The trick is to convert the number you are dividing by to a whole number first, by shifting the decimal point of both numbers to the right:

    Now you are dividing by a whole number, and can continue as normal.

    Convert Decimals to Fractions


    Example 1: Express 0.75 as a fraction
    Step 1: Write down the decimal divided by 1. 0.75 1 Step 2: Multiply both top and bottom by 10 for every number after the decimal point. (For example, if there are two numbers after the decimal, then use 100, if there are three then use 1000, etc.) x100 0.75 75 1 100 Step 3: Simplify (or reduce) the fraction 75 = 3 100 4
    Note: 75/100 is called a decimal fraction and 3/4 is called a common fraction !

    Convert Decimal to Percent


    To convert from decimal to percentage, just multiply the decimal by 100, but remember to put the "%" sign so people know it is per 100. The easiest way to multiply by 100 is to move the decimal point 2 places to the right:

    move the decimal point 2 places to the right, and add the "%" sign!

    EXERCISES
    Rearrange the decimals in ascending and descending order.
