10-1 tenths
10-2 hundredths
10-3 thousandths
10-4 ten-thousandths
10-5
Decimal part
Hundred-thousandths
Ex: Write in standard form eight and three hundred four tenthousandths
8 . 0 3 0 4
4 2 = 10 5
7 1000
Note: the number of decimal places is the same as the number of zeros in the power of ten denominator Ex: Write 4.2 as a fractional number
Note: theres a whole and decimal part Mixed number
2 1 =4 4 10 5
Ex: Write as a decimal number 27 100 The fraction is read twenty-seven hundredths Note: no and 0. 2 7 no whole part
Converting fractions to decimals, take the numerator and divide by the denominator. If the fraction is a mixed number, put the whole number before the decimal.
n Rewrite d
as long division.
3 + 1 = 4 in the tenths place, zero out the rest 7.359 rounded to the nearest tenths place is 7.400 = 7.4
1 + 1 = 2 in the ones place, zero out the rest 1.639 rounded to the whole number is 2.000 = 2
Multiply by Powers of 10
When multiplying by 10, 100, 1000, Move the decimal in the number to the right as many times as there are zeros. 2.345 times 10, move the decimal one place to the right, 23.45
1.2345 has 4 decimal place 10 has 0 decimal places Therefore the product of 1.2345 and 10 will have 4 + 0 = 4 decimal places . 123450 1.2345 x 10 = 12.3450 = 12.345
Ex: Multiply 1.2345 x 100 Think 12345 x 100 12345 x 100 = 1234500
1.2345 has 4 decimal place 100 has 0 decimal places Therefore the product of 1.2345 and 100 will have 4 + 0 = 4 decimal places . 1234500 1.2345 x 100 = 123.4500 = 123.45
Ex: Multiply 1.2345 x 1000 Think 12345 x 1000 12345 x 1000 = 12345000
1.2345 has 4 decimal place 1000 has 0 decimal places Therefore the product of 1.2345 and 1000 will have 4 + 0 = 4 decimal places . 12345000 1.2345 x 1000 = 1234.5000 = 1234.5
So what have we seen? 1.2345 x 10 = 12.345 1.2345 x 100 = 123.45 1 zero move decimal point 1 place to the right 2 zeros move decimal point 2 places to the right
1.2345 x 1000 = 1234.5 3 zeros move decimal point 3 places to the right To multiply a decimal number by a power of 10, move the decimal point to the right the same number of places as there are zeros.
Ex: Multiply 34.31 x 1000 How many zeros are there in 1000? Move the decimal point in 34.31 to the right 3 times 34 . 310. 34.31 x 1000 = 34,310 3
Ex: Multiply 21 x 100 How many zeros are there in 100? Move the decimal point in 21 to the right 2 times 21 . 0 0 . 21 x 100 = 2100 2
Divide by Powers of 10
When dividing by 10, 100, 1000, Move the decimal in the number to the left as many times as there are zeros. 76.89 divided 10, move the decimal one place to the left, 7.689
So what have we seen? 12345.6 10 = 1234.56 1 zero move decimal point 1 place to the left 12345.6 100 = 123.456 2 zeros move decimal point 2 places to the left To divide a decimal number by a power of 10, move the decimal point to the left the same number of places as there are zeros.
