DECIMAL NUMBERS ARE EVERYWHERE ALL THESE ITEMS AT ONE LOW PRICE.99 9 e Retil gints rep $37.4n A CONSTRUCTING DECIMAL NUMBERS We hve seen previously how whole numers re onstruted y pling digits in different ple vlues. For exmple, 384 hs ple vlue tle 3 8 4 sine 384=3 +8 10+4 1. hundreds tens units Numers like 0:37 nd 4:569 re lled deiml numers. We use them to represent numers etween the whole numers. The deiml point or dot seprtes the whole numer prt to the left of the dot, from the frtionl prt to the right of the dot.
DECIMALS (Chpter 9) 167 If the whole numer prt is zero, we write zero in front of the deiml point. So, we write 0:37 insted of :37. 3 0:37 is short wy of writing 10 + 7, nd 4:569 is relly 4+ 5 10 + 6 + 9 So, the ple vlue tle for 0: 37 nd 4: 569 is: Deiml numer units tenths hundredths thousndths Expnded form 0:37 0 : 3 7 3 10 + 7 4:569 4 : 5 6 9 4+ 5 10 + 6 + 9 Exmple 1 Express in written or orl form: 0:9 3:06 11:407 0:9 is zero point nine. 3:06 is three point zero six. 11:407 is eleven point four zero seven.

In relity I do not weigh extly 59:4 kg, ut this is n pproximtion of my tul weight. Mesuring my weight to greter ury is not importnt. We round off deiml numers in the sme wy we do whole numers. We look t vlues on the numer line either side of our numer, nd work out whih is loser. For exmple, onsider 1:23. 1.2 1.23 1.3 1:23 is loser to 1:2 thn it is to 1:3, so we round down. 1:23 is pproximtely 1:2. ROUNDING DECIMAL NUMBERS Consider 5716 ¼ 5720 (to the nerest 10) ¼ 5700 (to the nerest ) ¼ 6000 (to the nerest ) Likewise, 0:5716 ¼ 0:572 ¼ 0:57 ¼ 0:6 (to 3 deiml ples) (to 2 deiml ples) (to 1 deiml ple) RULES FOR ROUNDING OFF DECIMAL NUMBERS ² If the digit fter the one eing rounded is less thn 5, i.e., 0, 1, 2, 3 or 4, then we round down. ² If the digit fter the one eing rounded is 5 or more, i.e., 5, 6, 7, 8 or 9, then we round up. Exmple 13 Round: 3:26 to 1 deiml ple 5:273 to 2 deiml ples 4:985 to 2 deiml ples 3:26 is loser to 3:3 thn to 3:2, so we round up. So, 3:26 ¼ 3:3. 5:273 is loser to 5:27 thn to 5:28, so we round down. So, 5:273 ¼ 5:27. 4:985 lies hlfwy etween 4:98 nd 4:99, so we round up.
