$\Large\sf{\texttt{{{Like and Unlike Decimals:}}}}$

• Decimals with the same number of decimal places are called like decimals. Eg : 2.5, 0.8, 10.6

• Decimals with different number of decimal places are unlike decimals. Eg : 3.2, 0.54, 15.534

Now the critical question is, How can we convert unlike decimals to like decimals?

To convert unlike decimals to like decimals find equivalent decimals with the same number of decimal places

For example,

Question : Convert 3.8, 5.98, 45.888 to like decimals
