short note on decimal and fraction
Answers
Answer:
Decimal Fraction. A fraction where the denominator (the bottom number) is a power of ten (such as 10, 100, 1000, etc). You can write decimal fractions with a decimal point (and no denominator), which make it easier to do calculations like addition and multiplication on fractions.
Decimal:
A decimal is any number in our base-ten number system. The decimal point is used to separate the ones place from the tenths place in decimals. (It is also used to separate dollars from cents in money.) As we move to the right of the decimal point, each number place is divided by 10.
Fraction:
A fraction is a number that shows how many equal parts there are. When we write fractions, we show one number with a line above another number, for example, or 1⁄4 or 1/4. The top part of the fraction is called a numerator. The bottom part of the fraction is called a denominator.
