Answer:

Decimal fractions had already been introduced by the Flemish mathematician Simon Stevin in 1586, but his notation was unwieldy. The use of a point as the separator occurs frequently in the Constructio. Joost Bürgi, the Swiss mathematician, between 1603 and 1611 independently invented a system…

Introduction: What are Decimals in Maths?

A decimal is defined as a number expressed in decimal notation and generally applied to values that have a fractional part and separated from the integer side by a decimal separator.

Now let’s see an example

  • Here is the number “thirty-four and seven-tenths” written as a decimal number:
  • The decimal point goes between Ones and Tenths

  • 34.7 has 3 Tens, 4 Ones and 7 Tenths

Place Value in decimals

The place value system is used to define the position of a digit in a number which helps to determine its value. When we write specific numbers, the position of each digit is important.

Example:

For instance, let’s consider the number 456.

  • The position of “6” is in One’s place, which means 6 ones (i.e. 6).
  • The position of “5” is in the Ten’s place, which means 5 tens (i.e. fifty).
  • The position of “4” is in the Hundred’s place, which means 4 hundred.
  • As we go left, each position becomes ten times greater.

Hence, we read it as “Four hundred fifty-six”.

As we move left, each position is 10 times bigger!

  • Tens are 10 times bigger than Ones.

  • Hundreds are 10 times bigger than Tens.

And

  • Each time we move right every position becomes 10 times smaller from Hundred’s to Ten’s, to Ones

But if we continue past Ones?

  • What are 10 times smaller than Ones?

  • 110ths (Tenths) are!

  • Before that, we should first put a decimal point,

So we already know that where we put that decimal point.

  • We say the above example as four hundred and fifty-six and eight-tenths but we usually just say four hundred and fifty-six point eight.
