Today in math we focused on multiplying decimals by 0.1, 0.01 and 0.001 Remember when you are multiplying by 0.1, 0.01 and 0.001 your answer will get smaller. MMS lesson 9 is for homework due tomorrow.
0.1 -> move . 1 spot left
0.01 -> move . 2 spots left
0.001 -> move . 3 spots left
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).
