Introduction to Decimal Numbers
• A number written in decimal notation has 3 parts:
Whole # partThe decimal pointDecimal part
• The position of the digit in the decimal number determines the digit’s value.

Writing a Decimal Number in Words
• Write the whole number part• The decimal point is written “and”• Write the decimal part as if it were a whole
number• Write the place value of the last non-zero digit
Ex: Write 6.32 in words
Six and thirty-two hundredths
![Page 6: DECIMAL NUMBERS](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062309/56815adc550346895dc8a71a/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Ex: Write 0.276 in words
Zero and two hundred seventy-six
thousandths
Or two hundred seventy-six thousandths
Ex: Write 10.0304 in words
Ten and three hundred four
Ten-thousandths

Writing Decimal Numbers in Standard Form
• Write the whole number part
• Replace “and” with a decimal point
• Write the decimal part so that the last non-zero digit is in the identified decimal place value
• Note: if there is no “and”, then the number has no whole number part.

Ex: Write in standard form “eight and three hundred four ten-
thousandths”
8 . 3 0 40
Ex: Write in standard form “seven hundred sixty-two thousandths”
Note: no “and” no whole part

Converting Decimal to Fractions• To convert a decimal number to a
fraction, read the decimal number correctly. Simplify, if necessary.
Ex: Write 0.4 as a fraction
0.4 is read “four tenths”
1005

Ex: Write 0.05 as a fraction
0.05 is read “five hundredths”

Ex: Write 0.007 as a fraction
0.007 is read “seven thousandths”
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 numberNote: there’s a whole and decimal part Mixed number
4.2 is read “four and two tenths”

Converting Fractions to Decimal Numbers (base 10 denominator)
• When the fraction has a power of 10 in the denominator, we read the fraction correctly to write it as a decimal number
Ex: Write as a decimal number103
The fraction is read “three tenths”
Note: no “and” no whole part 0 . 3

The fraction is read “twenty-seven hundredths”
Note: no “and” 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.
Rewrite as long division. n

Rounding Decimal Numbers• Rounding decimal numbers is similar to
rounding whole numbers:Look at the digit to the right of the given
place value to be rounded. If the digit to the right is > 5, then add 1 to
the digit in the given place value and zero out all the digits to the right (“hit”).
If the digit to the right is < 5, then keep the digit in the given place value and zero out all the digits to the right (“stay”).
![Page 19: DECIMAL NUMBERS](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062309/56815adc550346895dc8a71a/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Ex: Round 7.359 to the nearest tenths place
Identify the place to be rounded to:
Tenths
Look one place to the right. What number is there?
Compare the number to 5: 5 > 5 “hit” (add 1)
3 + 1 = 4 in the tenths place, zero out the rest
7.359 rounded to the nearest tenths place is
7.400 = 7.4
![Page 20: DECIMAL NUMBERS](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062309/56815adc550346895dc8a71a/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Ex: Round 22.68259 to the nearest hundredths place
Identify the place to be rounded to:
Hundredths
Look one place to the right. What number is there?
Compare the number to 5: 2 < 5 “stay” (keep)
Keep the 8 and zero out the rest
22.68259 rounded to the nearest hundredths place is 22.68000 = 22.68
![Page 21: DECIMAL NUMBERS](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062309/56815adc550346895dc8a71a/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Ex: Round 1.639 to the nearest whole number
Identify the place to be rounded to:
ones
Look one place to the right. What number is there?
Compare the number to 5: 6 > 5 “hit” (add 1)
1 + 1 = 2 in the ones place, zero out the rest
1.639 rounded to the whole number is
2.000 = 2

Decimal Addition & Subtraction
To add and subtract decimal numbers, use a vertical arrangement lining up the decimal points (which in turn lines up the place values.)
Ex: Add 16.113 + 15.21 + 2.0036

Decimal Multiplication
Decimal numbers are multiplied as if they were whole numbers. The decimal point is placed in the product so that the number of decimal places in the product is equal to the sum of the decimal places in the factors.
![Page 27: DECIMAL NUMBERS](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062309/56815adc550346895dc8a71a/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Ex: Multiply 1.2 x 0.04
Think 12 x 4 12 x 4 = 48
1.2 has 1 decimal place
0.04 has 2 decimal places
Therefore the product of 1.2 and 0.04 will have 1 + 2 = 3 decimal places
48.0 1.2 x 0.04 = 0.048
![Page 28: DECIMAL NUMBERS](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062309/56815adc550346895dc8a71a/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Ex: Multiply 3.1 x 1.45
Think 31 x 145 31 x 145 =4495
3.1 has 1 decimal place
1.45 has 2 decimal places
Therefore the product of 3.1 and 1.45 will have 1 + 2 = 3 decimal places
4 4 9 5. 3.1 x 1.45 = 4.495
![Page 29: DECIMAL NUMBERS](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062309/56815adc550346895dc8a71a/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
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
![Page 30: DECIMAL NUMBERS](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062309/56815adc550346895dc8a71a/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Ex: Multiply 1.2345 x 10
Think 12345 x 10 12345 x 10 = 123450
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
![Page 31: DECIMAL NUMBERS](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062309/56815adc550346895dc8a71a/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
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

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
1.2345 x 1000 = 1234.5
1 zero move decimal point 1 place to the right
2 zeros move decimal point 2 places to the right
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.
![Page 34: DECIMAL NUMBERS](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062309/56815adc550346895dc8a71a/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Ex: Multiply 34.31 x 1000
How many zeros are there in 1000? 3
Move the decimal point in 34.31 to the right 3 times
34 . 310. 34.31 x 1000 = 34,310
![Page 35: DECIMAL NUMBERS](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062309/56815adc550346895dc8a71a/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Ex: Multiply 21 x 100

Decimal Division
To divide decimal numbers, move the decimal point in the divisor to the right to make the divisor a whole number.
Move the decimal point in the dividend the same number of places to the right.
Place the decimal point in the quotient directly over the decimal point in the dividend.
Divide like with whole numbers.

Ex: Set up the division of 0.85 0.5

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
