Inquiry into Mathematics
Today in math we focused on multiplying decimals by 10, 100, 1000 and 10 000. Remember you are you multiplying decimals, the decimal will always move to the right.
10 -> move . 1 spot right
100 -> move . 2 spots right
1000 -> move . 3 spots right
10 000 -> move . 4 spots right
Points to remember:
4.9 = 4 and 9/10 (tenths)
4.99 = 4 and 99/100 (hundredths)
4.999 = 4 and 99/1000 (thousandths)
¼ = 0.25
½ = 0.50
¾ = 0.75
- 2.25 million is written in standard form as
2, 250, 000.
As a decimal we write it as 2.25 million (2 whole million + 0.25 million) and as a fraction it is ¼ of a million (25 is ¼ of 100).
