TOPIC – Decimals
Decimal
A decimal is another way of expressing a fraction.
For example:
7
The fraction for the shaded part is . It can also be written as 0.7 or 7 tenths. We call 0.7 a
10
decimal fraction or decimal. The dot or the point between the two digits is called the decimal point.
A decimal number has two parts – the whole number part and the decimal part separated by a
decimal point. Number of digits after the decimal point is called the number of decimal places.
Example: 28.35
Whole Number Part Decimal Part
Decimal Point
Remember: Whole number is either greater than or equal to 0.
Decimal part is less than 1.
Reading and Writing Decimal Numbers:
We read:
0.15 as zero point one five or Fifteen hundredths
15.075 as Fifteen point zero seven five or Fifteen and seventy five thousandths.
The number of digits after the decimal point in the decimal numeral is equal to number of zeros
after 1 in the denominator of the corresponding common fraction.
6 3 574
For Example: 10 = 0.6, = 0.03, = 0.574
100 1000
Eg: Following pictures are representing different fractions:
8 15 50 92
(a) 0.08 (b) 0.15 (c) 0.5 (d) 0.92
100 100 100 100
In the decimal system of numbers, place value of a digit gets multiplied by ten as we move to the
left and divided by ten as we move to the right.
For example: 723.576= 7 hundreds + 2 tens + 3 ones + 5 tenths + 7 hundredths + 6 thousandths.
5 7 6
= 700 + 20 + 3 + 10 + 100 + 1000
= 700+ 20 + 3 + 0.5 + 0.07 + 0.006
Equivalent Decimals
Decimals that name the same amount are called equivalent decimals.
Example: 0.7= 0.70 = 0.700; 98.56 = 98.560 = 98.5600
Remember : Writing zeros at the right hand end of a decimal number does not change its value.
Like and Unlike Decimals
Decimals having same number of decimal places are called like decimals,
Example : 2.04, 8.29, 0.90 ( 2 decimal places each)
40.132, 2.106 , 15.629 ( 3 decimal places each)
Decimals having different number of decimal places are called unlike decimals. Example : 8.1 ;
3.78 ; 6.009
