Decimals

What is a DECIMAL?
•A decimal is any number in our
base- ten number system.
•In business this is how we usually
express amount of money.
What is the base-ten number
system?
•Observe the following fractions:
• 

•, ,

base-ten
We may write them in exponential
form using negative exponents.

𝟕
• 

−1
=7 𝑥 10
𝟏𝟎negative exponent
• 
•  , ,

We can also call this


decimal fraction.
As you have observed our numbers
uses base 10.
•We can extend the number system to
include digits with place values that are
negative powers of ten.

Two Types of Decimals
•Terminating decimals this are
decimals with a finite number of
decimal places.

0.625
•Nonterminating repeating decimals
this are sequence of digits in the
quotient which repeat over and
over again.

How do we convert Fractions
to Decimals?
•To convert a fraction to
decimal, divide the
numerator by the
denominator.
Example: Write the following fraction to
decimal.
• 
a. b.

c. d.

e. f.
How do we convert Decimals
to Fractions?
•To convert a decimal to
fraction, write the decimal
as a decimal fraction, and
reduce this fraction to
lowest terms.
How do we write decimals to
decimal fractions?
•12.875= 12 +
• 

decimal fraction
Then reduce the fraction to its
lowest terms by finding there
factors.
• 

=
Therefore:
• 

12.875= 12
Lets try converting Nonterminating
Decimals to Fractions.

•0.583
• LETS TRY SOLVING THIS ON THE BOARD!!!
Example: Write the following decimals to
fractions.

1. 0.94
2. 9.812
3. 1.26
4. 0.4875
Addition and Subtraction of Decimals

We add or subtract
decimals by adding or
subtracting with the
same place value.
We need to align the decimal point, so
that digits with the same place values lie
on the same column
• 
Note:
•If there are not enough decimal
digits in some of the numbers,
add zeros after the last nonzero
decimal digit so that all the
numbers well have the same
number of decimal places.
Try this!!!
• 
Multiplication of Decimals
•To find the product of the given
decimals, we multiply the digits like
they are whole numbers. Count the
total number of decimal places in the
factors. The product will have the total
number of places.
Lets try this!!!
• 
Note:
•If there are not enough decimal
digits in the product, you may add
zeros before the leftmost nonzero
decimal digits to fix the position of
the decimal point.
Example
• 
Lets try this!!!
• 
Division of Decimals
•To divide a decimal by another,
first move the decimal point in
both the divisor and the dividend
the same number of places to the
right to convert the divisor to a
whole number.
Example: Lets try solving this
on the board.
• 
Lets try this!!!
