Chapter 1.2 Place Value with Decimals
How do I know what kind of decimal it is? • The name of a decimal is determined by the number of places to the right of the decimal point
What are mixed decimals? • Mixed decimals are numbers with both whole numbers and decimals • The name of a whole number is determined by the number of places to the left of the decimal point • In the number 128.765, 1 is in the hundreds place, 2 is in the tens place, 8 is in the ones place, 7 is in the tenths place, 6 is in the hundredths place, and 5 is in the thousandths place
How do you read decimals? • To read a decimal correctly, first find the decimal point • Whole numbers are to the left of the decimal point; any numbers to the right of a decimal point form a decimal fraction • Say “and” for the decimal point • The decimal 2164.511 is read as “two thousand, one hundred sixty-four and five hundred eleven thousandths”
Zeros after the decimal point • Writing extra zeros after the decimal point does not change the value! • The decimals 0.2, 0.20, and 0.200 are equivalent decimals
