Answer 1

Answer:

they are known as DECIMAL FRACTION

Answer 2

The fractions in which the denominators are 10, 100, 1000 etc. are known as decimal fractions.

Explanation:

• The fraction consists of numerator and denominator.
• If denominator has the values of 10, 100, 1000, it can be expressed as a decimal point and it is called as decimal fractions.
• When decimal point is placed in the decimal fraction, denominator can be removed.
• For example, $\frac{2}{1000}=0.002$,$\frac{3}{100}=0.03,\frac{4}{10}=0.4$
• When a fraction has denominator value as 1000, decimal point should be placed before three digits from right to left.
• When a fraction has denominator value as 100, decimal point should be kept before two digits from right to left.
• When a fraction has denominator value as 10, decimal point should be placed before one digit from right to left.
• The decimal fractions can perform addition, subtraction, multiplication and division.
