What is a Decimal?

How would you read this number? What is a decimal? A decimal is similar to a fraction in that it is not a whole number. It is a part of a number. We use decimals most often when we are talking about money. $13.45 How would you read this number?

Thirteen dollars and forty five cents. $13.45 Thirteen dollars and forty five cents. Remember: You do not need to use the ¢ when your money amount is greater than $1.

What does the .45 mean? .45 is the same thing as saying 45¢ . It means that it is only a part of a dollar. It is not the whole dollar. We still need more to get the whole thing.

Why do I have to understand decimals? This is a good question. We need to understand what the value of each number means in order to understand what we are talking about. Here is an example: A shirt costs $12.05, but when I wrote the number down I wrote $12.5. What is wrong with this?

Why is $12.5 wrong? $12.5 really is saying $12.50, because when we read how much something costs it always has two places after the decimal point. If we don’t have a number after the first number we must assume it is a zero. However, when we read $12.05, the zero is the place holder so we know it is 5¢ and not 50¢. That is a 45¢ difference. I can get a piece of gum for that amount!

Let’s Look at Some Place Value One Hundred Dollars Ten Dollars One Dollar Ten Cents Cents 1 3 7 8 2 Hundreds Tens Ones Tenths Hundredths 1 3 7 8 2

Now you practice saying them! How do I read a decimal? If you look at the number 12.3, you say 12 and 3 tenths. If you look at the number and it says 12.35, you say 12 and 35 hundredths. If you look at a number and it says 12.05, you say 12 and 5 hundredths. Now you practice saying them!

Let’s Write this in Expanded Notation If we are using money, it would look like this: $100 + $30 + $7 + 80¢ + 2¢ = $137.82 If we are not using money, it would look like this: 100 + 30 + 7 + .8 + .02 = 137.82

When else do we use decimals? Weight (He weighed 85.5 lbs) Temperature (It was so cold today, it was only 43.7°) Measuring distances (example, the race was a 5 K, but since I don’t understand kilometers, I changed it to miles and saw that the race was 3.1 Miles long) Can you think of any other times?

Now is the time to ask as many questions as you need!
