Answer 2

Decimals contain numbers after the points and are more precise than whole numbers. The decimal is composed of two parts;

1) Whole number part: This part is before the decimal point

2) Decimal part: This is the part after the decimal point

Example:  12.345, here 12 is the whole number part and 345 is the decimal part.

The decimals having the same number of decimal places are called 'like decimals.'

Examples: 12.34 and 56.78 are like decimals.

Both have 2 places after the decimal point

The decimals which do not have the same number of decimal places are 'unlike decimals.'

Examples: 12.345 and 5.6 are unlike decimals.

12.345 has 3 places after the decimal and 5.6 has one place after the decimal point
