Week 4

Decimals
Decimals - a set of numbers written together with a dot in between them that is called a decimal point. The numbers to
the left of the decimal point are the integers or whole numbers and the numbers to the right of the decimal point are
called decimal numbers.
Types of Decimals
 Terminating decimals: Terminating decimals mean it does not reoccur and end after a finite number of
decimal places. For example: 543.534234, 27.2, etc.
 Non-terminating decimals: It means that the decimal numbers have infinite digits after the decimal point. For
example, 54543.23774632439473747..., 827.79734394723... etc. The Non-Terminating decimal numbers can
be further be divided into 2 parts: 
o Recurring decimal numbers: In Recurring Decimal Numbers, digits repeat after a fixed
interval. For example, 94346.374374374..., 573.636363... etc,
o Non- recurring decimal numbers:  Non- Recurring Decimal Numbers, digit never repeat
after a fixed interval. For example 743.872367346.., 7043927.78687564... and so on. 
Addition of Decimals

 align the decimal points in a straight column.

 use 0 as placeholder if needed.
 add just like adding whole numbers.
 place a decimal point in the sum.
 align the decimal point in the sum with the decimal points in the addends.
Let’s Practice:
A. Perform the indicated operation.

B. Read and solve. Show your answers.

Multiplication of Decimals

 align the decimal points in a straight column.

 use 0 as placeholder if needed.
 multiply just like multiplying whole numbers.
 count the number of decimal places in the factors and this should be
 equal to the number of decimal places in the product. (Note: Start counting from right to left.)
