What is a decimal number?

A decimal is a part of a whole.

•Think about money

Page 3: Wonderful world of Decimals

1 dollar and 4 dimes

•1.40$

Whole

Part of the whole

Page 4: Wonderful world of Decimals

On a number line

1 4 0

Page 5: Wonderful world of Decimals

Converting from fraction to Decimal• THERE ARE 2 WAYS• 1) You can write the fraction with a denominator that is a

power of 10.• (10,100,1000….)

Denominator is the bottom number of a fraction• Ex

• =

Page 6: Wonderful world of Decimals

Step 2• Than move your decimal place one spot to the left, because the 10 has 1 zero.

• 6.

0 .6

More examples

How many decimal points will I move to the left?

245.

Page 8: Wonderful world of Decimals

Look at money again.

•It takes 10 dimes to make 1 dollar.

So 1 dime is 1 tenth of the whole

Page 9: Wonderful world of Decimals

It takes 100 pennies to make 1 dollar

A penny is one hundredth of a dollar

Page 10: Wonderful world of Decimals
Page 11: Wonderful world of Decimals

Second way

•Divide the numerator by the denominator.

• 7÷16• =0.4375

Page 12: Wonderful world of Decimals

Express the following mixed fraction as a decimal

• 2 =2. a decimal•2÷3 =0.66•2.66

Comparing decimal numbers• If 2 decimal numbers have different wholes • Ex.• 4.56 and 7.89

• The one with the larger whole is bigger.

Page 15: Wonderful world of Decimals

Comparing decimal numbers• If the 2 numbers have the same whole but different

decimal numbers.

• 6.54 and 6.43

• The one with the larger tenth digit is bigger

Page 16: Wonderful world of Decimals

Adding and subtracting decimals• Example : 235.7 +18.276• 1) Write digits with the same position under each other

and line up the decimal point.• 235.7• + 18.276

• 2) Add or (subtract) the numbers ignoring the decimal point.

• 235.7• + 18.276

Page 17: Wonderful world of Decimals

Adding and subtracting decimals• 3) Place the decimal point directly under the decimal of

the other numbers.• • 2 3 5 .7• + 1 8 .2 7 6

• 2 5 3. 976

Multiplication and division of decimals• 1) When multiplying by a power of ten (10,100,1000…)

Move the decimal one place to the right for every zero

Example: 3.45 X100 3.45 =345.00

Page 22: Wonderful world of Decimals

Multplication with decimal numbers

003.45 =.00345

Move the decimal one place to the Left for every zero.

Page 23: Wonderful world of Decimals

Multiplication• For all other numbers,• 1) Multiply them as if they were not decimal numbers.

• 35.18• X 4.7• 24 626• + 1 40 720• 1 65 346• 2) Count the number of decimal places in the 2 numbers• we have 3.• 3) Put the decimal place in the result so it is same as the

total of the 2 numbers.
